It's clear the game has passed her by. I don't see her evolving into a fighter who learns to intelligently close the gap to clinch her opponents. She basically looked like she had a broom stick shoved up her spine to her neck. The lack of head movement as she walked into Amanda's punches were amazing. At this current time, she is basically a better actress than she is a fighter, and if you've seen any of her film cameos, that is saying something.
I think though she can still make a few million dollars by taking a few novelty fights (are there even any in wmma?). There's no way she takes a fight with Cyborg because she could literally die in that fight. I do think she can still sell her name for a little while.
As for her career in Hollywood, that's dead. The Ronda brand is pretty much over. Her film projects were on hiatus after she lost to Holm. But her loss to Amanda pretty much killed any of it. She pretty much had a lot riding on the fight with Nunes. Had she won, all those film projects and ad money would have returned. But alas, she got destroyed. I do think she still has a career in direct-to-video action films if she want's to go that route. Sure it's a little embarrassing, but those would buy her a lot of frappuccinos at Starbucks.
I just can't believe some people thought Ronda could return to the UFC as the dominant force she was before.
