Ronda Rousey's apple-biting video to reveal that she's healthy again in the aftermath of her UFC 193 loss to Holly Holm didn't have the intended effect - at least to Colin Cowherd.
The Fox Sports radio host did say he found Rousey to be "very cute and likable and vulnerable and fun there." But apparently the video also brought back memories of Rousey's personality before her fight against the relatively UFC unknown Holm.

In which Cowherd said he preferred Holm's personality, as reported by MMAMania.com.
" If you're a dominant MMA fighter -- Holly Holm came on the set. ... You can still be fun, and vibrant, and a woman," Cowherd said. "I found Ronda Rousey, right before her fight with Holly Holm, kind of a bully. I didn't find her likable. It's okay to be a woman and a fighter. Holly Holm is an attractive woman and a fighter. Sometimes with these women who fight it's like, 'Hey, all I am is a fighter!' It's okay to be vulnerable, fun, cute, awesome, dominant athlete, and a fighter and a woman. It's the same for guys."

Cowherd added that the same rule applies to male fighters, citing Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis and Sugar Ray Leonard as great boxers that each had a great personality.
Rousey is beginning to surface more and more as a proposed Rousey-Miesha Tate third fight is in the works.
Tate choked out Holm in the fifth round of their UFC 196 women's bantamweight title fight, and UFC president Dana White has promised Rousey the first shot at the new champion.
Holm will have to wait for the Tate-Rousey fight to try to win back the title she had with her stunning upset of the previously undefeated Rousey last November in Australia.
