Rogan blames Rousey's superstar status for loss: 'The traps of Hollywood are always there'

Veteran UFC analyst Joe Rogan explains what he believes was the main reason for Ronda Rousey's crushing defeat to Holly Holm.

Before experiencing the most devastating moment of her career against Holly Holm at UFC 193 last November, Ronda Rousey was on top of the world.

Apart from the movie deals and talks show appearances, Rousey was even touted by Sports Illustrated magazine as the "most dominant athlete."

Rousey was essentially living another life outside of fighting, given her obligations as a celebrity figure. And for veteran analyst Joe Rogan, these extracurricular obligations may have taken a toll on her.
