She whooped his ass GOTDAMN. At the very least assault charges should be filed.

Domestic violence is a serious issue and Pentico's statements distract from the issue by turning it into fuel for other people with malicious agendas. Her response to this comes across as disrespecting people that suffer from abusive partners.

It's worse with Ronda because Ronda is trained to actually hurt people permanently. She's a world class athlete so technically she needs to receive as much media scorn as everyone else.

I'm legit trying to figure out how Ronda is not in jail right now. Any MMA practitioner gets into a fight and uses a move to inflict harm and they risk extra jail time off GP. Ronda's days of shitting on Floyd for domestic violence just ended. Floyd has issues and needs help along with Ronda.
