<p>On a recent JRE, UFC color commentator Joe Rogan discusses the extraordinary accolades and achievements of former women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, and her, in his opinion not unrelated fall. Rousey was the best known figure in mixed martial arts. She was the most dominant champion in the sport, and was named by ESPN as the best fighter, male or female, in all of combat sports. Her autobiography made the New York Times bestselling list. She appeared in multiple Hollywood movies. Last year she was the #3 for Google's top trending people, just behind Caitlyn Jenner, and ahead of Donald Trump.</p>
Then she got her ass kicked.
"These themes play themselves out over and over again," said Rogan as transcribed by Milan Ordoñez for BE. "The traps are all there, but everybody keeps going for the candy and they keep getting caught in the trap. The traps of Hollywood are always there for any superstar athlete, especially fighters and we’ve seen it all throughout history."
"It becomes this Hollywood trap. And Ronda was — and still is — a giant superstar. She’s this undefeated women’s fighter. She’s crushing all the competition, she looks like a destroyer and then the f***ing traps."
"That’s something that happens when someone gets so absorbed with this idea that they’re special. So absorbed with this idea — when you’re on top, you think you are the f***ing person, you are the woman, you’re the man, you’re the s***. No one’s gonna f*** with you, I’m just going to run through this b****! And then you get cracked.
"Then you realize this game doesn’t give a f***. This game doesn’t give a f*** about your charisma. It doesn’t give a f*** about the Vegas odds. It doesn’t give a f*** about how much money you made or how many times you’ve been on ‘Entourage’ or how many movie deals. This game doesn’t give a f***."
