Gina is similar to Ronda. She retired young after one loss. She had the athleticism and potential to recover, make improvements and possibly still be elite...but would she? We'll never know. I don't have much interest at all in WMMA, but Gina and Ronda are interesting cases of fighters who retired when things got tough--but went into high-paying careers outside MMA, so i don't blame them.
What would've happened if they dug their heels in and tried to climb back to the top? I think Cyborg (especially roided) was kryponite for both, but it would've been interesting to see.
Never been sold on Gina. She was bigger than pretty much everyone she fought until Cyborg and only seven fights. A lot of stories about her lack of discipline even during fight camp.
