Ronda Rousey’s fall from grace was almost as quick her vicious stoppages, but her first appearance at a UFC even was even more short-lived. 

UFC President Dana White had the former bantamweight champion appear after the weigh-ins for UFC 205 to hype up the title fight against current holder Amanda Nunes.

Nunes, who beat Miesha Tate for the title in UFC 200, said in a LA Times report she was disappointed with how Rousey has behaved after losing to Holly Holm back in 2015. 

“I got the belt, I’m going to stay the same. I don’t want to be Ronda Rousey. She doesn’t want to talk to nobody,” said Nunes in the report. “This doesn’t make any sense. You want to be … like that? I want to be the best and be normal. I want to stop and sign pictures. This is the way a champion has to be.”
