UFC heavyweight and Fighter and the Kid podcast co-host Brendan Schaub is of the opinion that bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey "saved" UFC 190 with her nasty knockout performance, Saturday. He also wasn't surprised by her stand-up striking ability.
"Ronda's striking has been good for awhile," he said.
Rousey's game is getting so good that Schaub is convinced that no other female fighter will come along in our lifetimes that will be as good as her. "There's just no competition. It's not the UFC's fault. It's not Ronda's fault. There's no one for her. She's just that good," he said.
"You are witnessing greatness. I promise you, in our lifetimes we will never see another female fighter like Ronda. We just won't. The game hasn't caught up to her."
Hear Schaub and co-host Bryan Callen talk more about Rousey, Demian Maia's dominating skills ("He's got some of the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to ever grace the Octagon," Brendan said), and more in the latest episode, above!
