It may not be the “sugar, spice, and everything nice” way to do things, but that’s what makes her exactly the kind of role model we need.

One could argue that MMA fighter Ronda Rousey is one of the greatest athletes of this generation. Piper, who died in his sleep Friday, had given Rousey permission to use his “Rowdy” nickname. You can go as far back as 2012 and find hypothetical betting odds between the two best female fighters on the planet.
Rousey described a “Do nothing b***h” as someone who “tries to be pretty and be taken care of by someone else”. I want to humiliate her and show the word she has no MMA. Rousey has been known to subdue her opponents with her vicious arm bar, with nine of her wins coming by submission.
Normally, Justino might have a case since Rousey’s comments were defamatory. Rousey’s father, Ron, committed suicide. “You don’t see this kind of dominance in sports often”, says Oddessa.
Sunday, she gave an interview to Yahoo!
“So I turned around to her after I knocked her out and I said “Don’t cry”“. “I hope this is the last time”. “The day that [Justino] makes the weight and does what she’s supposed to do, that fight is on”.
But never in a fight did she rely exclusively on her hands before. When her mom put pressure on her, she ran away from home. Rousey landed a knee and then a short right to the temple that sent Correia down face first. “She was saying ‘Don’t cry”. Rousey said.
So she’s not only a heck of a martial artist-she can think on her feet and has a basic grasp of sports economics that often elude journalists.

Justino was stripped of her Strikeforce championship after the positive test and didn’t fight again for a year and a half, in a new promotion (Invicta FC). Rousey is just that good. She is not mentally healthy, she needs to take care of herself.
