Rousey: Tate just sounds kind of dumb

Rousey: Tate just sounds kind of dumb

/go=news.detail&gid=390919 [bloodyelbow.com]
 

SD: Miesha stated that she felt she was winning until you caught her with the second armbar. What's your take on this?

RR: I don't think there's any way she could argue that she was winning that fight at all. If you just look at the striking stats, I landed 43 strikes and she landed 11. If you look at the actual damage, she was bruised up on her leg and her face, not to mention her arm. The only point in the fight where she could say she was being the least bit dominant, is the part where she had my back, but she definitely landed fewer strikes from the back, and had zero submission attempts. The one time she tried to do something, she lost her position immediately. That wasn't a dominant position for her, that was pretty much her holding on for dear life. Every single takedown was me, I had the majority of the strikes, and I got the win. This all happened in four minutes, and if she assumes that the few seconds that she had my back, that she was the winner...well she wasn't doing anything productive there anyway, except prolonging the inevitable.

SD: Miesha said during her interview that you didn't really prove much during your fight. How do you feel about that statement?

RR: It just kind of makes her sound dumb. Everyone knows that I wanted to armbar her, and there was nothing she could do to stop me, even with months of preparation. I think that proves a lot. It's like she's not even looking at the actual situation. I don't know what match she was watching, to really think that. One of those pieces of advice that my mom tells me all the time is, 'Never listen to your own press.' The second I got out of that cage, my coach was already telling me a million things I did wrong. It just seems tome like she must be surrounded by a bunch of "yes men" all the time, saying stuff like, 'Oh yeah, you were winning. You were totally dominating.' If I was her, I would look at that match, look at what I did wrong, and try to fix it next time, and not be like 'I was totally winning before I lost.'

read entire interview...

 

I'm pretty much in love with Tate.. but Rousey is right.

UGblog u left out the most important part of the piece..i am disappoint


Caleb - I'm pretty much in love with Tate.. but Rousey is right.



This. I was pulling for Tate, and hate Ronda's trash talk, but Meisha just comes off delusional here.

disbeliever - right on all accounts
This. She smoked Tate Phone Post

Sarah Kaufman is going to give her a two piece

... and probably a biscuit.

Kaufman is going to do that Rampage slam on her if Ronda grabs her arm.


^^^ lol, I can't stand by that. Rousey is a beast.

Tate's delusional if she really said she was winning.

Tates a fighter, and she says what she has too to try and get a rematch. Although Ronda did school her.... Phone Post

Gnarls Gnarlington - I used to date Ronda, so I can say this with prejudice. She would kill Tate, over and over.

 I would look at that match, look at what I did wrong, and try to fix it next time, and not be like 'I was totally winning before I lost.'

Ronda has an uncanny ability to pwn people without saying anything that outrageous.

Have to agree with Rousey here, but Tate is really just trying to keep herself going. Sometimes you have to lie to yourself a little bit to keep your spirits up and get yourself back into the gym. There's a chance we might see a better Tate come from this setback.

And she just smoked her again.

 Even if Tate is a little delusional, she's still my female crush.  Not only is she beautiful, I think she always comes off classy.  I agree that we may see an even better Tate as a result of this match.  It's a cliche, but this was a learning experience for her, IMHO.

I betcha some dude is in Tate's ear, explaining how much of a distraction Bryan was leading up to the fight.

She is blinded by estrogen fury, and trying to make herself look good by swagger jacking Ronda Phone Post

other than the standup shes right

makes me wish she would have pulled a little harder on that arm
