The mainstream media are
jumping on the Ronda Rousey
bandwagon to such a degree
that she might just need a train
or cruise ship to carry them all.
The ESPNers and the like have
been talking non-stop about
this phenom, the most inde-
structible woman of all time,
possibly the greatest female
athlete of all time, and one of,
if not the number, most inter-
esting athlete in sport day.
It begs the question – where
will they be a year from now?
Because, frankly, Rousey may
not be anywhere near the cage.
Rousey has been pushed, force
fed some might say, by the UFC
and in turn the mainstream
media and even Hollywood
have scoped her up. People,
mainly media, who have never
followed or cared about MMA
before are taking hold of this
story.
But has Rousey’s dominance
wind up being a bore or will it
take on a life of its own? Will
there be an interest in seeing
Rousey mow through more
opposition such as taking on
Miesha Tate for a third straight
time?
It’s a huge crapshoot on wheth-
er Rousey will ever clash Cris-
tiane ‘Cyborg’ Justino, the only
woman who could actually give
the UFC champ and poster girl
ROUSEY
VS.
CYBORG
IS ALL WE CARE ABOUT
