Less than three weeks ago, I wrote about Ronda Rousey and how I felt she was going to become the face of Women’s MMA.
Now, let’s be honest, that wasn’t really a wild prediction that was going to cause a lot of controversy amongst MMA fans. However, there were quite a few people who believed if Rousey did win the fight over Miesha Tate it would do more harm than good for WMMA because it would magnify how weak the talent is there.
There were also people who actually believed Tate was going to be able to stop Rousey’s takedown attempts and win the fight…I was one of them.
So why the conflicting articles? Why write about Rousey being the face of WMMA, and then just two weeks later publish something stating Tate was going to come away with the win?
Quite frankly, I didn’t think Rousey’s time was going to come so fast. I knew she was going to beat Tate, eventually. I thought I would be writing this article later this year or early next year.
I was wrong. Ronda and “Rowdy Nation” are ready to propel the sport of WMMA now, and who is going to stop them?
