Interesting interview with Ronda's former Judo coach Jimmy Pedro.

Some cliffs:

-Said she's going to be 'devastated'

-Says Ronda doesn't deal well with losing and adversity

-Knowing this, said he'd be 'surprised if she takes another fight against Holm'

-Said she didn't take 2008 olympic training as seriously as she needed to.

Sorry for the million threads

Yeah after getting cro cop'd I don't think she's coming back Phone Post 3.0

I would be really surprised if she comes back Phone Post 3.0

The majority go out on an L.

She doesn't retire, but I do see her tightening things up a bit. This camp had a lot of drama, and three title fights in 9 months is ridiculous. Look at the emotional toll it took on Conor and he hasn't had anything near the mainstream obligations.

I hope she hides away until she's ready to speak, clears her head and makes the adjustments necessary. Last night doesn't mean RR was overrated- It just means that Holly is that damn good. Phone Post 3.0

Wow. Sobering words by her former coach.

I still believe in Ronda By Armbar.
I say she gets the belt back.

Nice interview. Thanks for posting

A lot of money in a rematch, I'm sure. Hell, I'd be excited about it and I generally don't even watch a lot of womens MMA.

If she's dominated again she'll probably retire and go for show business in some form.

I guess I meant more in her position. A dominant champ with no losses, hard to imagine her just walking away. Phone Post 3.0

I don't think that she'll walk away but I'm not sure she's gonna be itching to get back there with Holm right away. I think she might wait for Holm to get dethroned/old

Gina Carano? Phone Post 3.0

Gina left because her movie career was more compelling to her than fighting. RR doesn't have that.

I can see them trying to set up rousey vs carano or something at this point.

or a catch weight fight between ronda and someone smaller.

If she comes back to fight Holly with the same coach i think thats a horrible career move

 

BUT HEY what do i know

Exactly. Really doubt she takes the rematch right away.
