Regardless of how much the skill level of WMMA advances over the years, any WMMA G.O.A.T list should have Ronda Rousey in it simply because she was a pioneer and ushered in and provided the stage for others to build their success on. I personally have Amanda Nunes as my WMMA G.O.A.T but without Ronda Rousey and her influence in getting women into the UFC then it's very possible that we'd never have seen Amanda Nunes in the UFC. She might not be the best in terms of skill and she certainly competed in a much shallower talent pool than today's fighters but the same could be said for the likes of Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock, Don Frye, Mark Coleman and all of the other early MMA pioneers.

Yeah I get you... It doesnt really matter she has made millions, opened a new sport for 1000s of women, and kicked ass in MMA and WWE so its all good, but its annoying, and funny, my mother was telling me some parts of the first quarter of the book, Ronda said something along the lines of people training and not wanting leave a coach or team as to not offend them and lose a bond, thats what she did, she sacrificed glory to stay loyal to her coach and friend Edmund, and I think she is in with Armenians or something they are all in the judo scene in USA in California at least. Its annoying for me, cause she was never going to become a great striker learning the craft so late, had she moved to a top team like ATT ideally, or Kings MMA, or Xtreme Couture, (XC werent doing as well back then but you get me) One of these top gyms could have set up a wrestling program and high level sparring for her, had she got in that wrestling on top of her judo/jiu jitsu, and done a bit of striking, enough to set up the grappling/wrestling and defend, she may have retired undefeated... Good level judo/jiu jitsu with the tuning up of wrestling can be a great combination. Easy to say and theorize, but I was thinking had she become a mad wrestler instead of doing pads constantly with Edmund, who knows... Its all good though she doesnt care ha
Im just saying that cause like points/pin based wrestling is the superior grappling style, even though some matches may be a quick pin or parterre win... Its above all others in building combat abilities and athletic qualities for open rules fights, as long as you avoid submission attempts... People throw shade on greco-roman wrestling, but look at Topuria, he is a greco made machine, and the old guard kicked alot of butt. But yeah freestyle or American folk, or greco wrestling can go with anything, its still the best background for MMA/open rules fights after all these years in my opinion.... If Khamzat beats Izzy it will prove this post right... If not I am humbled, kickboxers are the true chosen kings ha

My recommendation would be to make the most annoying yet catchy song imaginable and try and get some big TikTok user to use it in their videos. Not the most noble way of getting a #1 hit but there's been loads of times I've heard a song recently that I didn't know where it came from and it turned out that it got big because of some TikTok influencer.
