This is a fresh point and I'm glad you decided to share it.
She is a great athlete and good for women's MMA but the low numbers and quality level of competition has made her a monster figure that men could not have achieved.
Yes. Right you are. When she did her base sport (judo) she got mostly bronze and silver medals. Everything is relative. Judo is a strong, old sport with strong competitors while woman MMA is a small, new and marginal sport.
You just described pretty much every uber successful person to ever live - right person, right time, right place

Mike Tyson was the male Ronda Rousey.

It`s obviously not understood by everyone, considering how people are still angry when others say Ronda isn`t that great.

Paul Allen
Steve Jobs
I'm sure that has more to do with the people desperate to write off any and everything Ronda does. There's a discussion to be had about her greatness but to outright say she isn't that great is just being controversial and silly for the sake of it. I think a lot of you are just trolling though so whatever.
If we are comparing her to the skill level of fighters that we are used to seeing, she is absolutely average. Nothing more. Her striking is sub par and if a male fighter had such average striking he would never be champ or even get a title shot. If we are only talking WMMA, then yeah shes light years ahead of anyone they will let her fight. But is that really saying much ?
