Ronda Rousey, a former UFC champion, recently shared her thoughts on MMA fans, sparking a debate. She believes fans quickly forget fighters after they lose. But not everyone agrees with her.
Chael Sonnen, another UFC legend, thinks Rousey misunderstood the fans. He said fans don't hate or love fighters personally. They just enjoy the sport. Sonnen explained that fans don't focus on individual fighters all the time. They support the sport, not just one person.
Rousey's comments came after she posted about returning to training. She mentioned finding her love for MMA again after a long break. Fans speculated this could mean a comeback.
But Rousey also criticized Joe Rogan, saying he's not an MMA expert. This added to the debate. Some fans agreed with her, while others disagreed.
The discussion highlights a bigger issue: how fighters see fan support. Some think fans are loyal to them. Others know fans love the sport, not just one fighter.
Rousey's situation is unique. She was a dominant champion but lost her last two fights. This changed how fans saw her. But does that mean fans are fickle? Or is it just part of the sport?
