Laila Ali is bitter because Rousey has beaten her twice.

Former WWE wrestler and now UFC fighter CM Punk has an 85/100 rating in the new UFC game.

The problem is he still hasn't even had his first UFC fight.

Calls everyone that has a problem with it "butt hurt dummies".

Not saying I endorse suicide, but I understand how she arrived at that feeling.

She's human and insanely competitive. She carries a lot of weight on her shoulders and when she failed, she felt like she failed everyone rooting for her, counting on her, doing business with her, and who believed in her.

She's not allowed to entertain horrible thoughts in a moment of weakness?

Actually admitting it publicly could even save a life.

To paraphrase the bard, I thought she was made of sterner stuff.

Bah. Talking about a feeling doesn't make you weak. Acting on it does.

One fucking loss, though. That's all it takes to plant a bit of doubt? Must be tough to be a 29-year old millionaire with a promising movie career ahead of her and one of the most dominating careers of any sport almost behind her.

The first loss is always the biggest, and in her case is took a lot of wind out of her brand's sails.

Ask Tyson what one loss does to a person.

I chalk that up more to his manager dying. That dude was supposedly the only person keeping Mike's head together. Soon as he died, Mike's life went to shit outside then ring, and he fired his trainer. Rousey's got a bit more sense than that and doesn't appear to need a 24-7 babysitter.

Gus Demotta?

That absolutely sent Tyson down the wrong path, but he didn't lose until years later. And once he lost, it was over. He won again, but he lost more often.

Remember Holly Holm? The woman who beat Rousey and declared it wasn't a fluke?

Four months later she taped to a Rousey punching bag.

They're going to wear helmets like sparring partners pretty soon.

I saw one lady on FB saying they should outlaw strikes to the head. "Then the sport will be stronger and safer!"

I don't even know how to respond to that.

McGregor retires at 27.

The speculation is that he was there two weeks ago when another fighter was killed in the ring, and figured "fuck this".
