So Rousey wasn’t really interested in improving herself. Most likely, this was partially due to her invincible streak clouding her judgment. After all, when you spend years owning everybody, why change? Why fix what isn’t broken? But her weaknesses had been exposed, even though she thought she was fine. She was The Amazing Ronda, right?

It’s not just her, though — part of it is her coach. Edmund Tarverdyan has, for whatever reason, convinced Rousey she’s a boxer. As her abject failure against Holm — an actual boxer — proves, she’s so not. Rousey is amazing at judo and armbars, but not jabbing or punching, and Tarverdyan simply couldn’t make her better at it. Problem is, instead of Rousey realizing this and firing him, she kept him around.

Would a better boxing coach have made her a better boxer? Who knows. But Rousey’s failure to improve even a little bit says that, while Tarverdyan sold her a bill of goods, Rousey eagerly bought and sold herself one, too. Nunes simply handed her the receipt.

Like many athletes who get a taste of fame, Rousey has set her sights on pursuing a career outside mixed-martial arts. Ronda was set to appear in several movies, but they didn’t all pan out. The first: a remake of the 1989 Patrick Swayze movie Road House, was set to be written and directed by The Notebook‘s Nick Cassavetes. Instead, Cassavetes is reportedly considering casting Blake Lively in an MMA flick. Meanwhile, it was reported in January 2016 that Rousey was set to team up with Tina Fey on the comedy Do Nothing Bitches, but that project is stuck in development. Other projects include parts in The Expendables 3, Furious 7, and the Mark Wahlberg vehicle Mile 22. Oh, and she also appeared in Sports Illustrated‘s 2016 swimsuit edition, for which she was photographed wearing nothing but body paint. All of these things are likely good for Rousey’s celebrity status, not to mention her bank account. But Rousey also runs the risk of flying too far away from the nest, which could alienate fans who just want to see her fight.

Given all of Rousey’s controversial moments, the fact that people were so quick to jump on her loss wasn’t all that surprising. Still, the sheer volume of hate toward the athlete was enough to suggest that people were rooting against her from the get-go. Thousands of MMA fans practically celebrated Rousey’s knock-out on Twitter, in a very “She had it coming!” kind of way.

Meanwhile, Rousey got some pretty harsh shut-downs from high-profile celebrities. Former women’s boxing champion Laila Ali was one of the quickest to pounce, telling TMZ after the fight, “It’s obvious who the better fighter was. … At this point, in order to be the best in the world you definitely don’t ever get beat up like that in your prime, period.” Even Lady Gaga, of all people, bashed Rousey on Instagram. “THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR NOT TOUCHING GLOVES!” the singer wrote, referring to Rousey’s refusal to engage in one of the sport’s most common pre-fight courtesies. If you’re going for the underdog look, Rousey, this is not the way to do it.

When news first broke that Rousey had been upset by Holm, many people’s initial reaction was, “Wait … who is Ronda Rousey?” Secondly, they asked, “What the hell is UFC?” Unfortunately, Rousey was competing in a sport that, while way more popular than it used to be, can still be considered niche — certainly more than, say, football, baseball, or basketball. Outside her sport’s bubble, most people are going to see her as little more than just another new actress.

Despite heavy coverage in the media over the years, the fact that her sport drew a comparatively small audience culturally already put her at risk of becoming an also-ran over time. After all, if Hollywood crunches the numbers and realizes most casual fans have little clue who she really is, there goes some of those cameos.
