4. Her Emotions Got The Best Of Her
Ronda Rousey got angry at the UFC 193 weigh-ins. She lost control. She rushed across the stage to meet Holly Holm, and overreacted when Holm stood her ground. She claimed that Holm, who had been very respectful in the weeks leading up to the fight, was basically pretending to be nice. That she was fake. Rousey seemed to hold on to that anger during their UFC 193 bout. She looked angry. She fought angry. And she repeatedly put herself out of position in doing so, throwing sloppy punches rather than being cool and calculated and letting Holm bring the fight to her. Rousey should not have been on the warpath at UFC 193. Her emotions got the best of her, and it cost her both her title and her perfect record.
