Yes if she was a once ever talent
if she beats the best dude at her weight and he's in the mix, sure.
It's easy to determine the GOAT for an individual division, and given that women have individual divisions (which are separate from mens') then one could make the case for a GOAT of that division to exist. However, I don't believe in P4P discussions, because there's no such thing as a P4P division.If a WMMA fighter has a spectacular career and finishes all her opponents undefeated, can she be considered the greatest fighter of all time? Or is that a title restricted to men only? Why?
I don't think that a woman can be considered a great fighter or the best fighter in the world. I feel the same way about 125 lb men. It's hard to think of them in the same category as the great men like Anderson Silva, Fedor Emelianenko, GSP, etc. If you're 5'3" or a woman then you just can not be in that category.
Prime Ronda could still beat Cain.Never forget the "I think Ronda could beat TJ or DJ" threads
God bless Holly's shin
He beat Serena 6-1 and Venus 6-2.
This is why we coined the term Pound for Pound GOAT.The best ever should, in my opinion, be the favourite to win against whoever it is they're facing, no matter what weight. Therefore it's hard for anyone lower than MW to be in the discussion.
Take GSP or DJ for example, their achievements in terms of championship level fights won should single them out as the best MMA fighters ever. But they aren't, because heavyweights would knock their block off.

Being larger and a man Cain should do the right thing and meet her at 135 for the fight.
That means Ronda vs Cain with no legs and one arm. Great matchup for Ronda imo since he still has an arm attached for the armbar
Just because you can't beat everyone, in every category, doesn't mean you can't be the GOAT. Seriously, that's one of the dumbest shit I have ever heard.The best ever should, in my opinion, be the favourite to win against whoever it is they're facing, no matter what weight.

No MW is beating every HW. None, zero. Jacare, Silva, Weidman, Romero, Rockhold would all get the living shit beat out of them by the best HWs of all time.The best ever should, in my opinion, be the favourite to win against whoever it is they're facing, no matter what weight.
