Ronda Rousey, the Ultimate Fighting Championship's greatest star, sent her distinction taking off to remarkable statures with a 16-second knockout win over Alexis Davis at UFC 175.
It wasn't simply the velocity, however there was a lot of that. It was Rousey's productivity, the way she easily transitioned from striking to catching.
The champion stormed out of the door with strikes, getting one punch to the face throughout the first trade. From that point, everything happened extremely rapidly for Davis to appreciate; Rousey arrived a left snare that stunned Davis, then a knee to the body.
And after that, in a move Rousey has executed incalculable times throughout her profession as a judoka, she got Davis in a headlock and sent her taking off, flipping her with a picture-immaculate toss. Rousey arrived on top of Davis and quickly started punching her in the face. Davis, who had never recuperated from the first left snare and the stun of being thrown on her head, went limp. The battle was halted.
What are we to make of Rousey? She has the looks and the attractiveness, to make sure. She has a thriving Hollywood profession. Yet more than that, she has definitely enhanced as a warrior, and she has done so at a speed that is extraordinary. Just Jon Jones, the light heavyweight champion, could be said to have enhanced to the extent that Rousey, in such a brief time period.
She executed her strategy flawlessly. On Wednesday evening, a part of her camp let me know she would be trying for the knockout and that she would be doing so early. She'd been dealing with her boxing consistently and decreasing the measure of time she used catching. When she beat Sara Mcmann with a knee to the body, some called it a fluke and an early stoppage.
Rousey needed to demonstrate a point, and she needed to do so with her hands. She swarmed Davis from the opening ringer, and the challenger—who was totally overmatched from the time the battle was initially published well, she never comprehended what hit her.
There is no one like Rousey in blended combative technique, and I'm not by any means discussing her business claim. Once more, she is the UFC's greatest star. Anyhow strictly on a sports level, there is no one, with the exception of maybe individual Olympian Daniel Cormier, who can match her for sheer physical ability and ability.
She is so great, truth be told, that it is about difficult to envision any part of the UFC's female program having a remote possibility of beating her. Indeed Holly Holm, an awesome striker, would likely be immediately dispatched by Rousey.
In actuality, there is just Cyborg. The discussions with Gina Carano may prompt something, and that something may wind up doing enormous business. Anyway just Cris Justino speaks to a genuine risk to Rousey's rule.
Also after what we've seen Saturday night, I'm not by any means beyond any doubt Justino beats Rousey.
