UFC: 10 Reasons Ronda Rousey Is A Victim Of Her Own Success

8. Her Competitive Nature Rubs People The Wrong Way

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNWwHeXL570 Lets face it: not shaking hands with Miesha Tate was one of the worst things Ronda Rousey could have done after their second octagon meeting. Yes, Tate rubbed her the wrong way during their time together on The Ultimate Fighter. Rousey being seen as having displayed some diva-like antics didn't help either. However, martial arts is based on ideas of respect and honour. Taking the high road is an important path. Rousey forgot that, but a lot of it had to do with her competitive nature. It's intense. She's a fiery fighter who does not back down, and the adrenaline keeps pumping even after the fight is over. A lot of people don't seem to understand that, or at the very least, it gets under their skin. Just as Tate did to Rousey on TUF.
