🏈 A "Teachable" Moment" For CNS To Use....

[rueben]

Much like the 2015 / 2016 Albama Defense, Rhonda Rousey was the best. She could take down anyone and force them into submission. the media hype, the interviews, the public displays...it all got to her head. she believed what everyone one else was saying. "The once In a life time..." "Best Ever..." "Can't Be Beat..." And what was once confidence became arrogance. I could last at least 5 examples of how even I noticed this happening with her, but I want to keep this a football thread. I hope our D stays humble yet confident. Don't fall for the hype, at least until the last game is over.

Rhonda got away from what go here there. She should have never tried to stand and bang with Holly Holm, even after getting punched in the face numerous times she insisted on standing. Didn't make any sense to me.

Agree with your point though

Mark Richt has lost control of Rhonda Rousey

 

[rueben]

1. She ran her mouth on Jimmy Kimmel.
2. She show boated in public appearances doing her double under rope jumping , running and shadow boxing in font of large crowds of people.
3. She ran her mouth at the weigh-in
4. She made a show out of not bumping gloves pre-fight.
5. She tried to go toe-to-toe. Second fight in a row. It worked the first time.
6. She got punched til her head roped like okra.

Believe she got paid $10 million too. I would imagine she was contractually obligated to do some of the showboating.

She hand picks the majority of her opponents.... she did not get to choose her opponent this time....

I think Holly Holm would be a great guest speaker for the team before CFP. She can talk about listening to good coaching and preperation is the key to accomplishing your goal. Bama can afford it. I enjoy this board BTW, lurking for a while. :notworthy

She got paid a boatload, but has to pay her trainers, managers and support staff. All fighters will showboat pre-fight. Go back and look at Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson. Somehow they all get a rematch for a bigger payday.

Ronda had a plan.....but didn't have a backup plan. Holm defended the take down attempts and took that dimension away from Ronda.

Much like Alabama .....you can NOT beat this team being one dimensional. Askip LSU

No shit???? Really???
The point of the original post was that he could use this to teach his team about letting success go to your head.
Speaking of "head" are you under concussion protocol? Have you ever been?

So to take this completely off topic, how much weight do you think Rhonda puts on after making weight? I'm thinking its about 15 lbs. I notice a huge difference with her. Holly's didn't change much, maybe her's is less noticeable due to keeping her tone. Holly is in incredible shape.

Fight was fixed. Every time a champ takes time away from the sport they drop the belt. MMA,boxing, it doesn't matter. Huge money loss when the champ doesn't fight.

Perfect set up. Three fights within a year, filming a movie, blah, blah, blah. I don't think holms was in on it and probably not the ref, but Dana White was. It also gives Rousey a chance to dodge fighting cyborg. Who I honestly think she is scared of. Now she can take her year off, pursue acting and come back to MMA if that fails. The Rock is teaching her well.

My point was that IF Saban was coaching Rousey, she would know the lesson before the fight. She would still be champ.

Or.....Ronda got beat by a better fighter that day. If I'm gonna be apart of fixing my fight, member getting my ass whooped (from beginning to end) wouldn't be my choice. But that's just me. Ronda got cocky and complacent. ..... Ran into a style she wasn't comfortable with.
