I saw a commercial with Migos and Holly Holm when I began to think of something.
The great careers of Rhonda Rousey and Mike Tyson are similar. Both dominated the above average down to the lack luster fighters in a spectacular manner.
When men or women stepped up and were either unafraid or had a strong skill set they lost. {at least they gave them a good fight.}
Tyson had trouble with skilled big men with good jabs. Rousey was undefeated until she ran into fighters who were good strikers and didn't allow her to choke them out.
Mike and Rhonda are both Hall of Fame fighters. Both won and lost in spectacular fashion.
One of the most memorable pieces of footage in Tyson's career, was his loss to James Buster Douglass. Mlike reaching for his mouth piece on all fours after taking brutal punishment from James Buster Douglass is a legendary moment in boxing. The underdog destroying the champ who seemed invincible up until that point.
The head kick Rousey took from Holly Holmes was an iconic moment in UFC history. Her 2nd loss was a ferocious beat down administered by Amanda Nunes. Yes, the lady who recently stopped Chris "Cyborg".
Shortly there after Rhonda Rousey wisely retired. While she was a pioneer in the sport, the women had garnered more diverse fighters ie.. kick boxers, martial artist and way better strikers in the upper echelon of the sport.
Mike Tyson ended his career with a record of 50-6 with 44 knockouts. Rhonda Rousey was 12-2 with nine submissions.
