How do you think Kayla would have done against prime Ronda?

[Söze Aldo]

Both have the Olympic Judo backgrounds, Kayla has the two Gold's however to Rhonda's bronze.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Too strong for Rousey

TKO in the first or second round. Kayla is a superior (MMA) grappler as well, but Ronda's striking was so poor it would have been the obvious path to victory. Stuff her headlock throw and punch her head in till she goes down, then finish with GnP.

Edit: Kayla is also bigger, off the top of my head she's better everywhere except possibly annoying her opponents by being immature and disrespectful.

Kayla would destroy Honda. Kayla is like 170 pounds of muscle in there

Yeah, Ronda would've been borderline murdered. It would be similar to the thrashing she took against Nunes, but even worse.

155-160 at best. It's not power lifting. Kayla is way my skilled than rousey ever was

 

[Like a fiddle]

Ronda's deadly on the ground, and Kayla's always going to take it there, so it's not like she wouldn't have a chance.

Her problem was forgetting she's a judo/armbar specialist and thinking she was Mike Tyson, along with Edmond encouraging that.

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

Kayla would destroy her lol

 

[Chagaev]

Can't see Ronda beeing the hammer here and she didn't look good at beeing the nail. It would've ended with the purple pillow I think.

 

[Fergelmince]

In today's UFC, Rousey would be fighting at 125 and probably make weight easily. Harrison nearly kills herself to make 135, so we're talking big size difference. Harrison probably wins with size alone.

 

[don't ask]

TKO in the first or second round. Kayla is a superior (MMA) grappler as well, but Ronda's striking was so poor it would have been the obvious path to victory.

This is my take, as well. They both have the same weakness (striking), but Kayla is a hell of a lot bigger and better at their core skill. I think it would look a LOT like Coleman fighting Severn.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

I dunno Ronda was ko’ing men in the practice room. Her striking would keep muscle momma at bay. I’ve seen her shadowbox trust me no one wants that.

 

[Lawrence]

I would be nothing like that.

Nunes can strike. Harrison cannot.

Do you even think before you speak ?

Harrison might dominate but her hands are just as bad as Ronda’s

 

[DrRodentia]

Kayla would probably beat her, but Ronda would have rolled any version of Pena in under 30 seconds.

Ronda did one thing very well. Grapple, she was miles ahead of all the women in the division. Then when Holly showed everyone how to deal with her she became VERY beatable.

Kayla has seen the mistakes Ronda made and actually developed herself in other areas.

She's a better striker. Has a way better grappling pedigree. Is was stronger and mentally tougher.

Ronda was essentially the mean girl in school who no one ever stood up to.

 

[NicholasJBasile]

I think she would've trashed Ronda, honestly

 

[Tito Tapped]

Kayla has already been fighting for longer than Rouseys career lasted.

What makes this hard to judge is Rouseys prime was arguably only a few years into her career and the 2nd half was more focused on movies and making it outside of fighting.

So how would PFL Kayla have done against prime Rousey? That's actually a fun fight. Kayla has far surpassed her at this point but probably doesn't win back then.

There is only one answer…

Head Moooovement…

Ronda vs Kayla would be kind of like Brock vs Velasquez. Kayla isn't as good of a striker as Cain, but the point is her striking is at least one level above Ronda's, and without having to worry unduly about the takedown, without that stifling her striking, she would just land and land on Ronda without much threat coming back.

Ronda said she quit MMA because she had repeated concussions and neurological damage, from judo as well as MMA, and she would sit in dark rooms while seeing stars and stuff. Kayla wouldn't have helped with that.

She was rehydrated to 160 at 136 for her first ever cut, she was anywhere from 160-163 in the cage last night, pre-weighins check in she was heavier than all the other BWs including men at 151. 170 of muscle she was not though, that would be terrifying, Kayla would legit be Brock Lesbo at that point
