Final curtain?

2. Ronda Rousey’s sister says she saw her sister die in defeat against Holly Holm—and then painfully watched as so many celebrities took joy in her younger sibling’s fall.

“I saw how horrible people can be to someone they don’t even know,” Maria Burns Ortiz writes at Vice, “which made me even more appreciative when I saw how wonderfully Ronda’s friends and family treated her.”

Donald Trump, 50 Cent, and Lady Gaga all used social media to mock Rousey in the aftermath of Holly Holm’s left leg relieving her of consciousness. Rousey’s failure to touch gloves with Holm immediately before the fight and provocation of a skirmish at the weigh-in staredown left many seeing her as a poor sport. The behavior followed a pattern: Rowdy previously laughed at Bethe Correia after knocking her out and refused to shake hands after her second fight with Miesha Tate. Her entrance music, after all, informs: “I don’t give a damn about my bad reputation.”

Two-thousand and fifteen was the year Ronda Rousey conquered the world—and was conquered by her conquests. Like so many rulers, she extended her empire too far and it collapsed back on her.

“Then there was Australia, where we expected Ronda to win,” Burns Ortiz reflects on the UFC 193 shocking defeat. “Just like we always do. Just like we always will. But she didn’t.

“I haven’t rewatched it. I haven’t read about it. I won’t. I don’t see a point in reliving the moment when a part of my loved one died, when I saw someone I cared about have her soul crushed.”
