Ronda "Rowdy" Rousey(R³) fits all Sherdog's criteria to be the WMMA GOAT

[20falarVerdades]

- Most successful title defenses
- Finished all of her opponents during her run
- Huge draw
- Never failed a drug test
- Highly entertaining fighter
- Was only KOed after her prime (akin to Fedor)

Is there a consensus that Ronda is the WMMA GOAT?

 

[ortizgnp]

She's the GOAT and still the biggest star in MMA. I agree.

Before the loss to Holm, Id agree. I just think the level of competition caught up to her. I see a couple of other fighters that'd beat her now. She should've retired after Betche in hindsight.

 

[Johnnny]

WMMA and GOAT don't go together.

 

[NRG]

Ronda bless, undeniable GOAT

 

[Quietus]

Shes 31, so she was 28 when this happened:

how is 28 past your prime when male fighters in their mid 30s to 40 still are fighting for titles? she isnt past her prime except in context that WMMA evolved past her limited skillset, and she never moved to a real training camp to become more well rounded.

Women are not equal to men, their primes end faster

Totally agree and yes, best WMMA of all time.

Except for the part about being KO’d after her prime.

All her fights were must watch. Came to bang, finishers everywere, live and die by the sword. Ronda was awesome.

Only insecure men constantly talk about the skill level of WMMA. UFC guys are pretty bad too most of the time even in the top 10. Head and foot movement, boxing fundamentals, cardio and IQ are missing in 95% of the fighters. Females just started later so they need to catch up (and they have been).

 

[White belt and pants]

I love when people say someone’s past their prime because they lost. At 28 she was not past her prime. She fought someone who couldn’t be a worse match up for her. An elite kick boxer who likes to be be chased and counter. Styles make fights. Holm also lost to Miesha Tate who lost to Rousey. Don’t forget Holly Holm was 34 and has a lot of mileage on her. Between kickboxing, boxing and Mma she has 66 fights not including amateur fights.

 

[PlayTheGame]

If we talk about skill, record and quality of competition, Nunes is UFC WBW GOAT so far. IMO more entertaining style as well (except for Val rematch).

Only insecure men constantly talk about the skill level of WMMA.

Or perfectly secure men who happen to find WMMA boring enough that we don't enjoy it.

 

[executionermma]

1 - Cyborg
2 - Joanna
3 - Megumi Fujii

4 - Ronda

 

[Crystaline Entity]

Yes she is right now, but Cyborg probably will be, if she/he isn't already.

Not a single argument from them is coherent. Insucure men translate "some girls being bad" to "all girls are bad". If i take random top guys like Moicano, Runson and Weidman i can conclude that men are really bad fighters too and MMA is a shitty sport. And it gets worse with all the constant card fillers.

Women will continue to grow and haters gonna hate.

 

[mirror45]

She lost in her prime and didn’t avenge her loss or beat fighters that are better than the fighters she lost to

GWOAT?

Cris Cyborg disagrees.
