People will take this opportunity to shit on Ronda's opposition, but ironically she is to her division what Anderson, Jon Jones, GSP and Aldo were to theres for YEARS, which is to say - two levels above their competition.
- Anderson went 4 years straight without a serious challenge
- GSP went 6 years without a challenging fight
- Jon Jones had 1 challenging fight in 5 years
- Aldo has been undefeated for nearly 9 years and has sonned pretty much everyone
All these champions steamrolled through their divisions, they all made them look average. The fact is, if you took ANY of those champions out of the equation those divisions become super competitive. Look at Ronda's, you'd have Meisha, Zingano, Nunes, Holly, Davis, Kaufman, McMann and Pena battling for the belt. That's deeper than the UFC's current HW division, and compares favorably to LHW, WW and MW.
People love to tear Ronda down, but fail to see the irony that she is doing exactly what all the UFC's great champs have done - destroyed their divisions and made them look average.
