    Default Should Rousey have come back?

    Old news now after 3 days, but clearly she's done as a fighter. She looked like she was in shape, but as soon as she took that first shot, it all unraveled again, and I thought the referee ended it at the right time.

    And to put her in with Nunes, who like Holmes is a fierce striker, while from a marketing perspective made sense, it was not in the best interest of the fighter (from a pure fighting perspective).

    But she made 3 million vs Nunes 100k.. while seemingly unfair, like boxing, it's who brings the eyeballs who makes the money

    Thought I read that Nunes' purse was $200,000. A fraction of Rousey's $62K per second payday, but you're right, RR put butts in seats.

    I've seen one post on Facebook (with many agreeing with her) that it's unfair to criticize RR as none of us has a gold medal in Judo or have had a fraction of the fighting success that she's had.

    While I did post a pic of the one pre-fight ad on my FB and included #MONEYONNUNES as a caption, it's not because I'm a better fighter than RR but because I thought Nunes looked more badass than Ronda, more intimidating. lol I'm no fight expert.

    Nunes showed sportsmanship with her comments after win, "She had her time, she did a lot for the sport, so thank you, Ronda Rousey."

    Nunes has to hold on to the title till her contract is up and the next one will be more lucrative

    In hindsight the simple answer is no. She was done. But at least now she knows for sure and didn't get hurt in the process.

    It's a tough sport to stay on top of.There are a few other fighters like Anthony Pettis and Johnny Hendricks who were on top just a couple of years ago and now can't seem to win a fight.I felt like Johnny got robbed the other night but he is clearly not the fighter he once was.Makes you appreciate guys like Dan Henderson.
