First off, I've literally heard no one make the argument that Ronda is fighting "soccer moms" not even as a joke. It's as if you're arguing against a point that was never made. Debunking something that has never happened.
Even if this has happened it a minuscule percentage of Sherdog that would use this dumb logic.
Next to the can argument. These women Ronda are beating aren't necessarily cans only time will tell. The thing is she's fighting in an incredibly weak division where it's not nearly as difficult to make a run to the belt as in the men's divisions which have existed for a longer period of time.
Let's take for instance Holly Holm, who has had only 2 very unimpressive wins in the UFC, and a couple of wins vs. unknown fighters outside the UFC and then she gets a title shot. I can't even remember something like this happened in the UFC. Holm didn't even have to beat a name opponent like Meisha Tate to get a shot at the belt.
A lot, of the girls Ronda fights have an unblemished record from beating other noobs or cans. So the fact that Ronda's opponents have a higher win percentage proves nothing. Also, win/loss percentage doesn't always equal a higher level of competition. If Ronda had to fight the women's version of the fighters Jones fought in title fights no one would be able to argue that the fighters she's fighting now are better. Part of that reason is the fighters guys like Rampage, Machida, and Cormier fought are undoubtedly legends of the sport. Also, consider the fact that Rampage has 10+ losses in his career, yet he'd be the best win on Rousey's record by far if he were a woman.
Next, you make the argument that Jones, Anderson, GSP, Dos Anjos, Aldo all went undefeated for years.
First off, Dos Anjos just won the belt. He didn't go undefeated for years.
Next going on a long win streak doesn't = weak division, no one ever said this. There's a difference between cleaning out a loaded division and cleaning out a division that's virtually empty. That's what Rousey did.
McMann got a title shot off beating Shiela Gaff and her best win was probably Shana Bayszler. Since then after a gimmie opponent, shes been exposed by Tate and Nunes.
Correia and Zingano has yet to fight.
Alexis Davis is 1-0
Liz Carmouche is 2-2
Kaufman 2-1-1 both wins coming against Leslie Smith.
Tate is the only fighter to really prove she's still a high level fighter going 5-1 outside of title bouts with Rousey.
You also make the argument throughout your post that Ronda is beating x many of the top ten fighters as if that's impressive in the division she's in. It's not, think of it this way. Say I made a fight league with me and my 20 brothers, then I say I beat the top 10 fighters in my division, obviously that's not an impressive feat when you consider who I'm fighting.
As of now all men's divisions in the UFC are stronger then the women's divisions and it's by far.
Now you're accusing posters of double standards for not calling out Fedor's wild striking. Funny I, and other posters have been doing so for years, only those threads get ignored or those comments get trolled by pride fans. No one's gonna deny that Shogun's striking is wild now, that'd be insane. It's just something people came to terms with long ago that wand had completely wild striking now without really mentioning it much.
