Cris Cyborg has always had dominant fights. No female has ever come close to winning against her.

The only time I could think of:
- Gina Carano. When she was in the mount/dominant position, she could have TKO Cris Cyborg
- Holly Holm. Maybe she could win on scorecards.
- Other female fighters just fought to survive. No one had a single chance of beating Cris Cyborg.

About Ronda, I think she had a little chance because of her judo. What's your opinion?
 
Haven’t watched enough of her fights to know who gave her the most trouble
 
I’ve never seen her in enough trouble where I thought she might lose
 
The only person I could see beating her would be Holm by flash KO / TKO.

Nobody in mma. Caramel got her back. But looked helpless about every other minute of the fight.

Baaars put the hurt in cyborg in their kickboxing match.
But it showed cyborg can take an absolute beating. And still give the number 1 kickboxer in the world a hard time putting baars in trouble several times in the fight until the last bell.

None of these women in mma will beat cyborg. Or after.

I’ve watched combat sports
For over 2 decades. Women like her are very rare and even in boxing stand out far ahead of everyone else.

Mma has this weird promotion where nobody is good unless it’s under a certain promotion.
So you have ronda roused being the best even though cyborg was always the best but a promotion tells these laymen fans hey this girl who can’t punch or move
Her head is the greatest fighter who ever lived. And a huge part of the idiot mma base nods in approval.

Then. Jj. Now schevenko. All lose.

Cyborg nobody has ever come close or looked competitive
 
Gina though she was never close to finishing the fight.
 
No one since that first loss, she’s on another level.
 
The answer is really nobody, maybe Holme I guess? She really hasn't had any great opponents
