Oh How The Mighty Have Fallen – The Demise of Ronda Rousey

Written on July 25th, 2016 by Jesse Schule in

When ESPN named Ronda Rousey the Female Athlete of the Year in 2015, I compared her lifetime achievements to those of Joey Chestnut. For those of you who are not familiar with Joey Chestnut, he’s a nine-time champion at the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. While it might not seem rational to compare competitive eating to women’s MMA, it actually makes more sense than comparing Ronda Rousey to the likes of Serena Williams or Lindsay Vonn.

When you look at the numbers of women and girls around the world that compete in sports like tennis, skiing, golf, soccer and basketball, and compare them to the numbers of female MMA fighters, the comparison to competitive eating is quite fair. Serena Williams might be the best female tennis player of all time, putting her ahead of millions of competitors. Ronda Rousey was nothing more than a big fish in a small pond.

I’ve always been skeptical of the media circus that surrounded Rousey during her reign as the UFC women’s champion, so when she lost to Holly Holm last November, I wasn’t at all surprised. I had been saying all along that there would be somebody who would prove to be tougher than the mighty Ronda Rousey, but I could never have predicted what has happened since.

Rousey’s loss to Holly Holm in November of last year was a nightmare for Dana White and the UFC. His most marketable fighter was humbled by a frail looking blonde girl that few had ever heard of. Rousey was an emotional train wreck after the fight, and the media darling went into self imposed exile. Things went from bad to worse when Holm followed up her win over Rousey by losing to Meisha Tate.

At least Rousey could take some solace in the fact that she has already beaten Tate twice. Holm’s loss to Valentina Shevchenko in July has upset the apple cart even further though, leaving us wondering what’s next for Rousey.

At this point, she’s got more to lose than she has to gain in a rematch versus Holly Holm. It seems crystal clear that the only thing that can save Ronda Rousey’s career would be a fight versus Cris Cyborg Santos. It would also likely be the fight that ends her career, and exposes once and for all that she was never as good as advertised.

Match Up	Pick	Rating	Score	Result	Profit	Analysis
Blue Jays vs Orioles	Orioles +1½ -140	Premium	4-1	Loss	-140	Show
This is a free play on the Orioles. The Blue Jays have clinched a Wild Card spot, and the Orioles have been eliminated. Game 1 in Baltimore won't have any playoff implications, but it's a chance for some players to finish strong and pad their stats at the end of the year. Perhaps nobody has more to gain than Dean Kremer, who has had a solid season for the Orioles and will make his final start. His last home start was a complete game shutout win over Houston. He signed a one year contract with Baltimore for just 700K, and he could be in for a big pay day in the off-season. Jose Berrios will go for the Blue Jays, and he's always been a Jeckyll and Hyde picher (home/away). He's 7-2 with a 4.25 ERA in Toronto, and 4-5 with a 6.75 ERA on the road. The Orioles should be a favorite in this game. GL, Jesse Schule
Rams vs 49ers	Rams +110	Premium	9-24	Loss	-100	Show
This is a 2* play on LAR. Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco coaching staff made a mistake naming Trey Lance the starter in the offseason, and while they are fortunate they still have Jimmy G, it might take a while for him to get up to speed. He threw for 211 yards with a TD and an INT on 18-of-29 passing in a loss to the Broncos last Sunday. He threw for 232 yards, 2 TDs and an INT on 16-of-30 passing in a 20-17 loss to the Rams in last year's playoffs. San Francisco blew a 10 point lead in the fourth quarter of that game. It wasn't the first time that Shanahan blew a double digit lead in the playoffs, he's done it twice in the Super Bowl versus the Chiefs and the Patriots. The Rams should have an edge with Sean McVay, Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp. The favorite has failed to cover in seven straight meetings between these two teams, and I think the bookmakers made an error listing San Francisco as the favorite for this game.
