I know she gets marked off as boring, but it's weird how people's evaluation of how good the division is seems to revolve around her 'not being good' more-so than it does 'how does she currently fit in against everyone else?'
It's like, when a fighter in any other division who has a number of losses starts racking up wins in a row, people will usually go "Oh, looks like they turned a corner." Whereas with Racquel, it seems like everyone's going "Well, no she is just permanently a 6 outta 10 in skills at best in my mind. So if MBS beat her, I would have put MBS in the 7-10 area, but because she didn't, I put MBS below 6. The champ is now a 6 and everyone else is below a 6."
The rankings haven't been updated to put her as the champ yet (which is actually going to bump all these people up by 1 on average), but at this point, she has wins over #3, #4, #5, #7, #9, & #11 and the only people she lost to in the UFC are Andrade (lost by split and avenged with a RNC and a POTN bonus), GDR, and Holm twice. And all of those women have held gold. That's really not a bad run.
