Remember in 2014 2015 Ronda was the GOAT female athlete

U had legit fighters and trainers saying she could fight in men division at the same weight

Like 30% of ppl thought she could beat Floyd in a fight

This why I never take anything them MMA dudes say serious

You elevate the status of a sport enough, they'll gas you as much as they need to. If Zo was still under his dad's wing, drawing ratings like that family did, pundits would still be trying to figure out a way to put him on a pedestal. I really dont even think you gotta be particularly good to get gassed, and certainly not as good as they make you out to be. There were Hackenberg apologists for at least 2 years after it was apparent he sucked

Right... I blame everybody EXCEPT the UFC and it's employees. They had a brand new division they opened up FOR HER.. Dana didn't even think it would work for decades. Then she caught lightening with those powerpuff fights at first. He never saw that coming. Pushed all his money and resources into it, started pitting her against men, pushing the GOAT argument, had her fighting untrained a$$holes when she was an Olympic fighter..


Soon as they ramped up the competition even slightly, she was outta there. Same with McGregor. They was doing it at the same time. They both started getting their asses kicked by people who had been doing this for decades themselves. All hype and powderpuff fights. Some ok challenges. But they wasn't beating up anybody of record, in any primes, to be lauded as some GOATs. But they raised the sport up to levels never seen before. And the money they made and have fighters able to make now... Crazy

she would’ve died 2 mins into any kinda bout with Floyd and one of those mins would’ve been spent carrying her out.
