The boxing skills of Ronda Rousey or the lack thereof are still thrown away today.
Once the pound-for-pound best female hunter on the planet, Ronda Rousey absolutely dominated her first 11 opponents in the cage with her Judo skills of world class.
Rousey was an Olympic gold medal winner in Judo and ruled as the UFC ladies bantam weight champion from 2012 to 2015, making quite a few enemies along the way.
The Hall-of-Famer had one of the worst outputs of the UFC, her striking exposed to back-to-back KO losses to former boxing champion Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes, who became the best female hunter of all the time.
It took fewer nunes less than a minute to send Rousey to MMA pension with a standing TKO. Rousey's head coach Edmond Tarverdyan went viral in the corner to repeatedly shout 'head movement' against his hunter while ate a barrage of bumps from the champion.

Most of Rousey's victories came because of her characteristic Armbar entry, but at a certain moment her striking was very affected for the elimination of two opponents combined in 50 seconds. Joe Rogan once claimed that Rousey could remove half of the UFC Bantamweight Division from the men in her heyday.
Cris Cyborg was considered the scariest striker in WMMA for years until she was folded by Amanda Nunes in less than a minute in less than a minute at UFC 232.
Cris Cyborg after retirement itself
Cyborg, 39, left the UFC in 2019 with a winning record and then signed at Bellator.
Cyborg won the belt of featherweight in her promotion debut and defended it several times before he crossed the boxing ring and finally the PFL Smartcage.
The Great Great defeated champion Larissa Pacheco to win the PFL-Fedgegegegebeel in October and add another championship to her collection.
Cyborg says that she currently has two more fights about her PFL contract and says she will retire once it is completed.
“This is my Legacy Tour,” Cyborg responded to a fan on X.
For the time being Cyborg will return to the boxing ring on 17 May.
