671 Words3 Pages

The article I have chosen for this week is called “What Entrepreneurs Can Learn From Ronda Rousey’s Defeat”; I found this article on the Forbes website. Ronda Rousey is a former Olympian who became a UFC fighter in 2012. Since her arrival in the UFC she has become one of the most popular and dominant athletes in sports. That was until she lost her first fight a little over a week ago. Ronda Rousey was an undefeated UFC fighter until November 15, 2015 when she went up against Holly Holm. Going into this fight Rousey was the clear favorite to win the fight. Rousey lost to Holm in the second round of the fight from a kick to the head. When the fight was over, “public adulation turned to scorn, and people came out of the woodwork to revel in her defeat” and now it seems that everyone had turned on her (Myers, 2015). The author believes that entrepreneurs can learn some things from Rousey’s defeat.

I don’t think her legacy will fade either. Once people see how she is able to pick herself back up and continue to do what she loves they will gain a huge amount of respect for her; like I

    In reading The Ring by Danielle Malico, I felt a connection to her as a strong woman doing something she is passionate about. Her thesis statement is well stated when she says “I, on the other hand, have first-hand knowledge of what it is like to be in the ring” (Malico, p135). Her story draws you in by describing the excitement of the crowd and the things she hears and smells before the bell rings and it’s time to focus on her competitor. Her description of how she sizes up her opponent helps to visualize the first few minutes of the fight. Although realizing her opponent is confident makes her hesitant in her own abilities but she doesn’t lose focus and continues until the bell rings ending the first round.
