Were she to enter the ring against any of the top 30 men in the UFC in her weight class, it would end up AT LEAST as one sided as all of her fights with girls.



Multiple training partners of hers have said many times that she throws around men on a regular basis. It's kind of like saying you could out run Jackie Joyner-Kersee because you ran track in highschool.

And, I'm probably being kind. She probably gets taken badly by any of the top 100 MMA male fighters at 135. Against the top ten, she might die.


I don't know man. A lot of high level guys think she could compete.

Jackie Joyner-Kersee, to my knowledge, was the fastest woman on the planet. Not just faster than all the woman who's fast twitch muscle composition aren't in the top 10 percentile.

So, no, its nothing like that. A better example would be that its like saying you could physically dominate a woman who has shown to dominate all of the 140 pound woman on the planet.

If Rhonda could compete with any man in the top 50 in her weight class, that would be pretty much a unique situation in the world of sport.

The Williams sisters thought they were an exception and venus got embarrassed.

Sorry. No. She can't. And God help her If she tried her hand at pretty much ANY MMA trained man who weighed 185. She would have to fight like the 1000th rated guy before I didn't literally fear for her life.

I wouldn't feel comfortable that she could get thru 3 rounds with a 185lb man until we got out of the top 5000. Even then, she'd lose. Bad.
