Is Cyborg another Ronda Rousey?

[chamcham]

Not talking about media coverage or popularity.
But rather one-dimensional dominance in WMMA.

It seems that Ronda and Cyborg have been able to maul her opponents repeatedly for so long due to the subpar fighting skills of their opponents. Even though both fighters are very one-dimensional, it is still enough to defeat most WMMA fighters.

Would a fight against someone with good grappling, good takedown defense, precise striking, and good head/foot movement make Cyborg look as bad as Rousey did when she fought Holly?

Is Cyborg a one-dimensional fighter that will be left in the dust if WMMA fighters evolve and become more well-rounded?

What is needed in WMMA for fighters like Cyborg or Ronda to become a thing of the past?

 

[Curly Peibce]

imo Cyborg is more legit still.

 

[sidecheckkick]

Still better than Ronda

 

[Uber_Noober]

If Cyborg lost by ko I don't see her getting suicidal.

Cyborg proved she's legit in her fight against Jorina Baars.

You know, Carano was doing pretty damn good against her until she was grinded down.

And that was before Cyborg got popped.

other than Marloes has Cyborg fought anyone who'd be top 10 material in the UFC? Speaking as someone with very little WMMA knowledge here btw.

 

[Geech]

Ronda's resume is actually much better than Cyborg's.

 

[The lord of bones]

I don't understand how Ronda gets hated on because she fights "cans" yet Cyborg does the same in a lower level promotion while making them fight above their natural weightclass, Holly would dust Cyborg because she's a terrible match up for her.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Cyborg isn't one dimensional. She's good on her feet and even better on the ground. She might be a can crusher but that's the promotions fault not hers. She'll still beat any woman in the UFC today.

 

[MMAProfessional]

Cyborg is a purple belt in BJJ under Cristiano Marcello I wouldn't call her one dimensional....

Ronda has been refusing to fight Cyborg since 2012. At that time Cyborg was one of the most known and well established WMMA fighters around. Cyborg would have probably won easily in 2012. During that time we have seen her excel in many areas of mma.

It's been 4 year since then and Ronda Rousey is still bullrushing and throwing the ugliest punches ever.

Ronda still a beast, i wouldn't bet against her in her next fight against Holly

Was just a bad night imo

 

[TheScorpionDude]

Cyborg > Ronda

When you fight someone way better than you, it usually ends up being a bad night.

 

[Gladiatorz]

Well, we'll see!

 

[IMSAYIN]

Well Ronda has faced the best the UFC has had to offer. Cyborg never even stepped up. I have no love for Ronda... But, I have zero RESPECT for Cyborg.

 

[WouldNotBang]

Cyborg is like the female Rumble.

Cyborg is huge, no place to call home as far as weight class.

Oh like a womens fighter that doesn't exist? Maybe
