|  Will Ronda Rousey Become MMA’s Lucia Rijker?
Quote:
“Unfortunately I think (Rousey) is going to be the Lucia Rijker of MMA. For those of you that don’t know who Lucia Rijker was, she’s the female boxer that was really the best in the world. You heard of Christie Martin and Laila Ali and all these other people, they wouldn’t fighter. Nobody wanted to fight Lucia Rijker. She was sparring with guys. She was probably the best female boxer ever and nobody knows who the hell she is.”
Is Ronday Rousey headed for the same fate?

Interesting Article. I don't think Rousey going to have issues finding fights or becoming a star. I think 135 in a few years will be a great divison for WMMA. Kaufman, Carmouche, Kedzie, Holm all still young and growing has fighters could fight her at some point, just to name a few. Hell even Tate could pose a treat to her at a later date. I know she lost to her already but she still has time to grow. I bet she learns from te loss and comes back stronger than ever. Kaufman up next so well see what happen's. Thoughts??

Rin Nakai would be a fantastic PPV fight if built up right.....

The only negative for Ronda Rousey is that she fights in Strikeforce. She's lucky if she will fight twice a year.

An un suspended and non juiced Cyborg sends Rousey nighty night all day. I don't like her and I honestly rather see Rousey be champ but Cyborg is some sort of beast when it comes to the ladies of mma. Until Rousey beats her she's not the best womens fighter in my book.

Kaufmann, Coenen, then Cyborg will keep her busy enough and give her enough of a test that she will either get famous and be clearly #1 in the world or falter and be just another girl in the mix at 135. After that she will probably start filling her time with movies or something unless the UFC gets a woman's division.
It'll be exciting to watch though, she\s my favorite fighter to watch right now.

She also boxes with men infact she trains them now. Like others Ali wouldn't fight her.

I have my doubt's. also keep in mind they are not in the same weight class and I don't think Cyborg could make 135 so Rousey would have to step up. unless Cyborg loses a lot of weight once she quites the Juice..............LOL!!!!

Cyborg struggled to make 145 and fought a lot of 135 lb'ers who wanted a belt; I don't see why Rousey would move up to 135.
Seems like everyone in WMMA wants to fight Rousey, and she's already getting pretty close to cleaning it out. Don't think there will be a problem of more recognizable fighters ducking her.
