I know this sounds easy to say right now but I never bought into the Ronda hype. Her fights always felt like early UFC, where wrestlers and grapplers had the advantage just because of how inexperienced fighters who came from other martial arts were against it. The second she couldn't just bull rush and toss her opponent she was done.
JJ on the other hand, have we ever seen her ground game get challenged? Nobody is seeing her on her feet, like you said.
Crazy that JDS might be champion again after we saw Cain murderfukk him twice and Overeem KTFO him.
