Put Floyd in with Charlie Zelenoff or some guy walking off the street and it's over in the first round.
Nobody, not me for sure, is saying Rousey is a better or more accomplished fighter than Floyd!
I'm talking about exciting and the popularity generated by that exciting manner of fighting.
RRR's fights don't go to decisions, she submits or KOs them all usually in the first round.

Some of you have been talking about how fast the belts turn over in MMA and that the lack of talent is the reason, which is pure BS.
The main reason is because MMA is still new and evolving. New techniques are being introduced all the time! Give MMA 75 more years to evolve/expand and I think you will see champions holding on to their belts a lot longer.
