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

[AbominableJoman]

R3 snaps her? arm in under 30 seconds

 

[Deceasedxo]

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.

Ronda has one move on the ground.

 

[LostMyBlackBelt]

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.

Doubt it, 135 was not an easy weight for her

 

[VAfan]

would have destroyed her, at any point in ronda's career.

then again, laboratory frankensteins probably shouldn't have their careers analyzed, so why even consider it.

 

[bjjwar]

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

The battle of the worst strikers in mma history, would have been epic watching them punch themselves

 

[JPOMMA]

That's a 17/18yo vs a 14/15yo btw.

But at what weight class?

 

[Söze Aldo]

Doubt it, 135 was not an easy weight for her

Yeah, Ronda wasn't as outright jacked as Kayla but she would get pretty big between fights

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Kayla wins, at least as good a grappler and would likely be bigger, probably a better striker too.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

On paper most people will probably pick Kayla and understandably so. The question that comes to mind is can Ronda cancel out Kayla's ground offense? If you ask me id say so. Further more if you thought Rondas striking was terrible, Harrisons striking is next level bad. This could easily turn into a striking battle

 

[dipstickjimmy]

Yea during her walk around is believable, especially since her back looks like mine ho LEE.
I'm not afraid to admit Kayla has better developed shoulders than I do, what a unit. The pigtails are mandatory just to be able to hold on.

Isn't Mine Ho-Lee the first winner of TUF China?

It would all come down to one thing:

 

[650lb Sumo]

But at what weight class?

idk, feel free to research it yourself

 

[Cemalex88]

Prime Ronda by domination

Regarding to Ronda was 18 Kayla was 15 at 2005 , that means nothing

 

[JPOMMA]

idk, feel free to research it yourself

You were very eager to interject into my question to another poster about the weight class…seems fair to assume you would have that info…after all you knew the ages

 

[Tweak896]

Kayla probably muscles through the Judo clash. But against Viera, it cancelled out a little bit. Kayla isn't really great standing and as much as people make fun of Ronda it seemed like she had more power. Ronda probably had better subs as well. I suspect Kayla would muscle an ugly decision, but if we're talking prime Ronda, she could pull off a finish maybe. I'd love to watch it.

 

[Wormwood]

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.

Possibly?

 

[SamuraiBro]

Yeah, Ronda wasn't as outright jacked as Kayla but she would get pretty big between fights

Ronda more like Chonka

 

[Normot]

Ronda gets taken down but still wins via armbar...

 

[Gamer2k4]

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.

Her problem was having no way to get the fight to the ground except by punching her way into the clinch. People say she changed her strategy against Holm and Nunes, but she didn't; she was constantly trying to clinch both of them. (Even in the 48 second Nunes fight, she tried to clinch five or six times.) The fights just looked so different from all Rousey's previous ones because Holm and Nunes were actually able to avoid the clinch, and once she didn't have that, she didn't have anything.

 

[TITS]

Ronda starches Kayla.
