Ronnie Coleman almost gave up bodybuilding in 1997, just one year before his first Mr Olympia win.
“My most painful would be losing to Lee Priest,” said the bodybuilding champion. “He was a little guy. I was a big guy. Kind of depressing.”
“My lowest moment, I gotta go with when I place third in the 1997 Ironman. There was a guy by the name of Lee Priest, and Lee is a really nice guy, but he’s not the biggest guy and he’s not the tallest guy, and when somebody that’s not as big as you and not as tall as you, beats you in a show, for me that was the lowest moment ever,” Coleman said.
In fact, Ronnie Coleman has lost five times to the Australian bodybuilder, each defeat more bitter than the one before it.

That was one of the most satisfying moments in mma history.

She was so arrogant.  While Holly Holm was a veteran of 50 some odd fights.

the ref was way to quick to jump in there, she should have been allowed to get at least three more hammer fists in...
