Let's start with her own base, Judo :
Ryoko Tamura Tani
Two times Olympics gold (sydney 2000, Athens 2004), two times silver (Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996), bronze medal (Beijing 2008)
Seven times (!) World Champion (Hamilton 93, Chiba 95, Paris 97, Birmingham 99, Munich 2001, Osaka 03). World championships used to happen every two years in Judo, and she won 6 straight
Serena Williams
21 grand slams in Tennis major tournaments (6x Australian Open, 3x French Open, 6x Wimbledon, 6x US Open)
Ronda has 5 consecutive wins in the UFC. Compare.
Dat dere Serena is suspected of using some of the same substances as Cyborg.
That aside, there are all kinds of female athletes who have shown more dominance than Ronda - in their chosen sports. We all know Ronda is just riding the hype train while she can.
I would bet that in even if Ryoko Tani had trained her ass off for MMA, Ronda would beat her in the Octagon. Being the best at one sport doesn't mean you will be the best or even close to being a top contender in another fairly similar sport or event.
