We watch a Rashad Evans lose 89 times in a row and cry for retirement but try to bash on Ronda for knowing when to quit lmfao. MMA fans are the worst.

@MassaBruce  Alright, good point. Maybe I’m being a ****, but look at all the fighters that have come back from bad streaks to regain greatness. You’re telling me Ronda, at what, 30, 31? She couldn’t have changed camps and retooled and come back to be better than ever? I think she was a front runner who couldn’t deal with taking a turn as the nail instead of the hammer.

Neither was Tyson. So what? Its Tyson. He'll do whatever he wants. Its Ronda. She did and does whatever she wants. Get over it.
