Thats opinionated, i personally put them higher. 135 is filled with bad game plan non fight iq fighters as her fights have shown. Personally i still think JJ is the GOAT female fighter, ronda just gets way way more publicity so its easier to over look JJ and give it to ronda. Claudia is better then any of rondas wins tho, and KK as well, and ezprasa. Theres just better comp at 115 in my opinion
Not sure the likes of Pena and Pennington are more 'talented' than Zingano, Tate, McMann etc. more than the older fighters are just falling off, and Holm lost to Tate...
i like JJ yea, i like most fighters who put on a show tho. im not a fanboy of any fighter, back in the day shogun and wand but that was many moons ago. these days i just like good fights and dont pay to much attention to all the drama bs surrounding mma. JJ is a better fighter then ronda and fought better competition. thats an opinion not a fact
nope, completely sober, but explain who has ronda beat that is close in regards to skill as claudia? or kk?
I think Claudia might be on Tate/Zingano level but not the rest, maybe Esparza is skill wise but she's at a bigger physical disadvantage than those Ronda opponents. Not sure on KK yet.
i think you rate tate to high, but again thats just an opinion, i like zingano tho just doesnt fight with a smart iq at all, she needs a better camp or something. I think KK is gonna go on to do big things in the future. If ronda takes out nunes that to me is a bigger win then anyone else she has faced
"Close in regards" seems exaggerated? Claudia is good but her best wins are JAG who isn't proven against the current generation of top SWs and Hamasaki who was clearly undersized and dropped to AW right after, she seems to get the bulk of her rep from hanging with JJ and should hardly be put on a pedestal over the likes of Tate and Zingano.
Yea thats a good way to look at it too. Pending nunes beats ronda and jj defends a cpl more times then i think its safe to say she surpasses her. Maybe a bit pre mature yet to call JJ the goat WMMA fighter. cyborg will have a strong case if the 145 division gets going in the ufc too and she actually fights in it

And keeps winning against impressive fighters ie. doesn't start defending against 5-1 rookies again. Which is kind of a tall order at 145, we don't even know if the loser of Holm/GDR will stay at FW for example.
She's the female MVP in that her rep is based almost solely on the "eye test" with a nonexistent resume to back it up, instead of Cryborg, Cyroid etc. her nickname should actually be Eyeborg.
Meisha crushes both those girls. Former champ in 2 orgs including UFC. JJ is awesome but she hasn't put together the string of wins like Ronda did with the pressure she had.
How many real 145lb fighters has Cyborg fought? maybe she has fought 5 145ers (all strikers) out of 26 fights. There are 145 and 155lb fighters but borg doesn't fight them 4 some reason that is known only to her and her team.
