Women's MMA is still new to major exposure. Someone will come along eventually and pose a challenge. It's early, Rousey is only 6 fights into her pro career, we'll see if she can keep winning and beating everyone at bantamweight for a while, she'll have proven herself. Hard to tell though for now, but Rousey's got potential. Let's see how she does first when someone can get past the first round with her.

Rousey beats pretty much anyone out there right now.
Cyborg is a decent fight, but she is perhaps the only one. I think that the person who does beat her, if there is such a person, will have to grapple with her. She submits almost anyone on the ground, but if someone can match her on the ground they have a good shot. Someone like Kyra Gracie maybe, but she's never even had an MMA fight. |

If Rousey fights? I'd say Gina may have a chance as it will play into her only competitiveness in such a fight and that is her ability to bang, however judging by literally every single "fight" I ever saw Ronda Rousey have I truly doubt she will fight at all therefore she scores another arm bar.
Gina Carano imo is a good Female fighter but she doesn't have Gold Medalist Judo skills like Rousey so when Rousey once again reduces MMA to Wrestling/Judo by not throwing punches and strictly grappling then at that point Gina will be outmatched and she will lose |

Everyone has different tastes, not saying mine is 'right' or anyone else's wrong, but for me I think it's great to see someone use one art to destroy everyone as she has. If it was just lay and pray that would be different, but I'd much rather see an elite striker keep things standing or an elite judoka do what she's done than see a jack-of-all trades fighter.
One thing that makes fights less exciting for me is when a fighter chooses his style based upon his opponent's weaknesses. If they're a grappler, keep it standing and strike. If their opponent is a striker they take them down. I can't fault them too much because this is their career and they're winning fair and square. But I prefer to see fighters who are going to look to strike no matter who they face, or look to take it to the ground and get a submission no matter who they face, fighters who perform based upon their strengths not someone else's weaknesses. |
