Ronda Rousey Lands Surprising Spot On ESPN’s List Of Top Female Fighters Of 21st Century

Where would you rank Ronda Rousey on a list of the top female fighters of the 21st century? ESPN offered up its thoughts on that in putting together a Top-10 recently.

Rousey, a former Strikeforce and UFC champion, came in third. Ranking behind Amanda Nunes and Cris Cyborg on the list.

While an incredible run as champion, Rousey didn’t have the kind of long career many others did or are having.

Nunes retired after becoming a two-division UFC champion while successfully defending her titles numerous times. Cyborg was a champion in the UFC and Strikeforce while also putting together a long list of victims.

Valentina Shevchenko checked in at No. 4 followed by Joanna Jedrzejczyk. Rounding out the Top-10 were Rose Namajunas, Zhang Weili, Miesha Tate, Megumi Fujii and Holly Holm.

Fujii is the lone non-UFC fighter to make the list.

Do you take issue with the list? Or disagree with any of the choices?
