"I don't feel bad about it." Ronda just guaranteed I will never be a fan. Completely classless, approaching abominable. Then somebody clued me in that she trains with the Diaz's and I understood. I'll be rooting against her in every fight from now on. I hope Cyborg comes back, gets better at hiding her juicing, and smashes Ronda's pretty face in.

I thought she meant she didn't feel bad about Tate being able to escape the 1st armbar...

If that's true - I'll eat a little crow. I could have misunderstood or not been paying close attention. Anyone have a link to the post-fight in-ring interview?

Half serious. Ronda showed a pretty ugly inside to go with the not bad outside.
But on a serious note, what percentage of MMA athletes do you think are at least "optimizing" their testosterone levels to come into their fights just below the highest allowable level?

I still don't get why this comment bothers people. They act like tapping wasn't an option. It is not Ronda's fault that Tate didn't tap until she could scratch the middle of her back. Why should she feel bad for it? She didn't appear to brag about it or taunt Tate with it, it happened, she did what she had to do to win, and that was it.
And while I am no fan of the Diaz brothers, how does this comment and training with them link up at all?

As a human being engaging in a sport you want to win. The goal isn't to end someone's career or cause permanent damage, and if you do, you'd feel bad about it. Winning isn't worth taking a chance on crippling someone for life. If you don't feel bad about it, even if you had no choice, then you are sub-human in my humble opinion. And she did have choices if Tate was too tough for her own good. She could have called out to the ref that it was breaking and asked him to stop it earlier. Its not as egregious as Steve Cantwell saying he's "always wanted to do that" but its not far off either.

Apparently their idiocy, self-absorption, and lack of class is contagious.

Ronda tried that way before and Sarah D'Alelio is still complaining about it.

She barely knows the Diaz brothers. Nick asked her to show him some judo. ....what a dick
