By Matt Brown, a recently retired UFC legend, has voiced his opinion on Ronda Rousey’s recent public statements that have seemingly alienated her from the MMA community. Rousey, a UFC Hall of Famer, has been more vocal about her fighting career while promoting her autobiography, discussing the concussions that led to her retirement and her belief that she’s been unfairly vilified by the MMA media.
Brown questions Rousey’s complaints, pointing out that facing criticism is a part of being famous. He suggests that Rousey’s lack of humility in her interviews, where she details the reasons for her losses without acknowledging her opponents’ skills, is a key factor in her falling out of favor with fans.
He argues that Rousey’s focus on external factors for her defeats, such as injuries and concussions, comes across as excuses rather than reflections. Brown emphasizes that all fighters deal with adversities and that making excuses doesn’t resonate well with fans or the community.
