re: Average man vs. Ronda Rousey

I'm somewhat impressed by this thread. It's been done a few times on the MSB, and 95% of those guys think they could dismantle her. I mean, yeah, D1 lineman or wrestler would overpower her. But not the average guy on the street.

I used to be a D1 athlete and 5 three minutes BJJ grappling rounds made me feel like I was dying. A lot of my opinion is for that.

Ronda isn't great on her feet, but an average guy who got in a few fights when he was younger can't exploit that. Judo technique lets her take most people down just because it focuses on using someone's weight against them and most average guys have no clue how to defend.

Once on the ground, even if a bigger guy is strong enough to power out of a few subs, she can go for 5 minutes and the average guy is gassed. The biggest chance an average guy has, IMO, is landing a shot on her while on the ground, but that's also the hardest way to have actual KO power.
