After Rousey got beat down again when she was actually forced to have to deal with some striking I am trying to think if a fighter male or female was ever as overrated and overhyped in the press as much as her. In her 14 fights she only had 2 wins over the same opponent where she didn't slip some average Jane into an armbar for the win in the 1st round of the fight and only has beaten one opponent (Tate) that had any fighting rep at all and most of these wins were in a womens division that was still really thin on depth most of her early career.
I guess people may be dogging her too much because the media overhyped her so much with all the talk that she could beat the men in MMA in her weight division and all that other nonsense but I am just trying to think of something equivalent to this outcome. Maybe all that Michelle Wie golf hype when she was a teenager trying to qualify for Men's tournaments and then she never even became one of the very top women golfers.
