FiveThirtyEight: Ronda Rousey Fights Like An Outlier

A lot of really interesting information in here about MMA in general and not just about Ronda.

 

[Lie Detector]

Hespect for going against the female grain and actually fighting.

Salient pieces/charts from the article (though it's rare anyone here will give her credit):

Spoiler

 

[the ax murderer]

But would she beat Lebern?

No sure about Lebern, but she would definitely beat Shirkey.

Yeah I was going to post these, but I wanted people to actually go and read the article.

 

[Rematch]

Ronda is definitely elite. The facts don't lie.

 

[Jin Akutsu]

The guillotine is on the rise!

 

[BOTTICELLI]

All true

 

[Lyoto Jackson]

So, how much of an outlier is Lioel Messi? Is he really on par with Ronda (relative others in his field)?

It would be interesting to find out the fighter's dot directly to the left of Rousey's

 

[masterless]

Rouseys a beast...some might say she's even the Mike Tyson of MMA.:wink:

 

[Prince Nephilim]

She's a beast. Far above every other woman in the UFC terms of skill. But she still ducking the shit out of Cyborg.

 

[Jayfiddy]

But would she beat Lebern?

depends on what kind of beating we're talking about

 

[Fight Professor]

Outliers are usually ignored.

Yeah I was wondering that as well.

It's Bethe Correia.

Seriously - it actually could be Maryna Moroz. Ronda's incredibly long fights with Miesha Tate are screwing up her placement on this chart.

Of course she is. Off to bed now, we don't want you waking up grumpy in the morning.

 

[tehJameson]

I don't know what an outlier is.

what don't people get about her competition being $hitty?

Werdum is the best fighter in the world, he can beat any human that is walking in the world.

Ronda fights as a female...in MMA...in the 135 division. SHE'S FOUGHT NO BODIES. NO BODIES.

She's the royce gracie of WMMA, congrats! there was more skill in ufc 1 than WMMA. GTFO
