Mike Tyson Has Some Advice For Ronda Rousey After KO Loss
Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey was beginning to draw comparisons to boxing legend Mike Tyson, now he has some advice for her after the crushing UFC 193 loss…
We haven’t seen or heard much from former UFC bantamweight queen Ronda Rousey since UFC 193, which is a complete contrast to the year leading up to her most recent fight. During her reign at the top of the 135-pound females, Rousey built up so much momentum it was totally unheard of. Getting big movie roles, spots in ads, unreal hype videos made by the UFC and being called the most dominant athlete on the planet, ‘Rowdy’ was being built up as invincible.
As we all know, there’s no such thing in the realm of combat sports, and Holly Holm was the dose of reality that hit hard at UFC 193 last November. The head kick heard around the world planted Rousey firmly on the canvas, along with the millions of dollars of promotion money spent by the UFC, and the hopes of the now former champ’s huge following worldwide.
Back to the subject of Mike Tyson, and now the comparisons are for a very different reason. Of course her reign of dominance was still somewhat similar to Tyson’s in boxing, but now her rapid descent is also reflective of ‘Iron Mike’s’ fall from the top. Tyson himself had been part of the build up to Rousey’s UFC 193 bout with ‘The Preacher’s Daughter,’ noting there was ‘something special’ about ‘Rowdy’ during a trip to her gym.
The similarities between there two careers is not lost on Tyson, who appeared on Conan on TBS last night to give some great advice to the now seemingly reclusive former bantamweight queen, check it out:
Sage words from the former boxing great, who has undoubtedly seen the glittering highs and utterly awful lows of being a fighter in the media eye.
Do you think Rousey will ever come back to fighting, further to that, does she ever need to? With her roles in Hollywood movies growing by the year, surely it’s only pride that would ever make ‘Rowdy’ want to fight again. That said, it’s a powerful thing.Stay tuned.
