will she be legend too?
She did take a legendary beating, so....
i don't think so. She has a long way to go with her striking defense. Her standup is just bad in general. All she has is her judo throws, no wrestling takedowns. Unless she can rewind the clock, she will never reign.I am no Rousey fan by any means, but I sincerely believe that if she dedicated a couple of years to closing the holes in her game, she could come back for a second reign.

RR is an olympian who has competed at the highest levels. She took her skills to MMA and reigned supreme for a long time. The idea of Rousey dedicating herself to striking defence, and becoming proficient at it, is not a far fetched proposition.
The same work ethic and determination that made her a world great judoko, and then a highly successful wmma fighter, could no doubt drive her to become an even better version of her best wmma/fighting self.
Just cause she is good as judo that doesn't mean it can translate to striking
Just cause I can drive a race car doesn't mean I can drive a helicopter
2 very different things you are trying to compare
That's not what I'm saying at all.
What I'm suggesting is that the mental attributes that made her successful and dominant, in two different combat sports, could be the same attributes that allows her a second successful run.
