After all she had named her cat Bejing in anticipation for winning the Olympics. Her boyfriend broke up with her right before saying long distance wasn't working and he needed a break and they could talk about their relationship when she came to LA. After the Olympics he called her to congradualate her and say him and his new girlfriend were cheering for her. They gave her $10,00 dollars for winning and after taxes all she had was $6,000 dollars and no job. So she worked as a bartender for a while so she could figure out what she wanted to do with her life.]]> 2021-06-11 18:01:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bandasop000/codpwsqsrykwppz1/wish/1601668397 bandasop000 https://padlet.com/bandasop000/codpwsqsrykwppz1/wish/1601926126 She was on a show "The Ultimate Fighter" which would show new fighters to help their MMA career take off. She would coach a team of two girls and four guys. Also because Miesha and her had built a rivalry almost completely one sided at first but because it had caused views to go up. it was good for the show. They decided Meisha and Ronda would train their teams and compete against eachother. At the season finale Ronda and Miesha would compete against each other too.]]> 2021-06-11 21:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/bandasop000/codpwsqsrykwppz1/wish/1601926126 bandasop000 https://padlet.com/bandasop000/codpwsqsrykwppz1/wish/1602111390 Soon after a couple fights she was admitted to Strikeforce. During this time she had been dating a guy she nick named "norm" because he at first was the most normal boyfriend she had ever had. She soon found out he had taken photos of her nude without her consent. She was scared he would share them so when Strikeforce had a photo shoot where they take photos of their stars mostly naked but covered them enough as a bikini would so she agreed saying "I figured if there was any possibility of naked pictures of me getting out, I wanted it to be on my terms."- Pg 229

So she reached out to Mike Dolce to help her with her diet. For the first time in a long time she would eat till she was full, felt stronger, and was losing weight and putting on muscle.  She used to believe she had to be miserable to be successful, but she realized she was wrong "Boxing great Mike Tyson said "a happy fighter is a dangerous fighter" and I think he's right."- (Pg 275)
.  She had a fight with Cat Zingano it lasted 14 seconds "It was the fasted submission in the UFC history and the fastest win ever in a UFC title fight."(Pg 293) She was the first opponent Ronda had ever felt empathetic for because she recognized how much her opponent wanted to win.]]> 2021-06-12 01:09:10 UTC https://padlet.com/bandasop000/codpwsqsrykwppz1/wish/1602113763 bandasop000 https://padlet.com/bandasop000/codpwsqsrykwppz1/wish/1602209523 https://youtu.be/4eKv3VLQvP8

Also if you look in the comments you can slowly see when the media started to turn on her. Part of it I think is just people being bitter over her going from MMA to WWE permanently, how she took the loss against Holly, and I partially feel like its kinda sexist too because if any guy were to do what she did they would just call him "passionate" not "arrogant and a bad sportswoman".]]> 2021-06-12 03:45:29 UTC https://padlet.com/bandasop000/codpwsqsrykwppz1/wish/1602209523 bandasop000 https://padlet.com/bandasop000/codpwsqsrykwppz1/wish/1602219208 She had been thinking about doing MMA since 2010 and eventually she got her mom's blessing. She was excited she wanted to show everyone that she could do it. Her couch Big Jim had said "it was the stupidest f**** idea she had ever had" her friends when she asked if she should all said "No." because doing MMA as a woman wasn't taken seriously. She wanted people to respect the sport and show other girls that they could do whatever they dreamed and more than they could dream of. Even her boyfriend had made comments like "Its woman's MMA it's easy." She wanted to be so good no one could even argue she didn't deserve the title she held or didn't "earn" it. Her first fight she won and it lasted 23 seconds. "The entire fight lasted twenty-three seconds."

That she should work harder than anyone else because that's what champions do.]]> 2021-06-12 05:28:11 UTC https://padlet.com/bandasop000/codpwsqsrykwppz1/wish/1602260899 bandasop000 https://padlet.com/bandasop000/codpwsqsrykwppz1/wish/1602265238 In April of 2006 after she ha been kicked out by Big Jim her coach . She spiraled and felt that her life was not under her control and that she needed to take control of her life. She had been kicked out because she was dating Dick Ittybitty which she felt was unfair and was none of his business. He also told her mother about the situation which made her feel even more out of control. She felt at eighteen the only way to take control was to run away and live with one of her friends while she trained for the Olympics. She struggled a bit but eventually gained back the relationship she had with her mom and started winning again.she won the first World Cup that an American woman had won in 9 years. ]]> 2021-06-12 05:37:00 UTC https://padlet.com/bandasop000/codpwsqsrykwppz1/wish/1602265238 bandasop000 https://padlet.com/bandasop000/codpwsqsrykwppz1/wish/1602268868 In July of 2006 she broke up with her toxic boyfriend of 2 years Dick Ittybitty . Throughout their relationship she had ignored the red flags that she couldn't ignore anymore. She was sixteen and he was 20 when he started hitting on her and harassing her. He cheated on her , degraded her, and preyed on her insecurities while she struggled to cut weight with an ED.

She would take her dog to the dog park where she met her boyfriend. They were happy together for a while but when she started getting back into Judo and MMA it was clear she wanted more and that made him insecure. She would come home from practice with bruises all over from fighting and bruises from being choked. She understood that a person who wasn't a fighter wouldn't understand and she had to explain this to him when he thought they were hickeys.
