10 greatest and best MMA fighters of all time

#6 Ronda Rousey

Rousey prefers to stay away from the media since losing to Holly Holm in 2015.

Ronda Rousey is controversial, she's been branded fake, a fraud — nothing more than a media hype-job. However, the fact remains--she handily ran through some of the best female fighters on the planet and changed Women's combat sports forever.

Although Rousey never quite managed to mentally recover from the endless tirades of harsh criticism levied at her after the defeat to Holly Holm, her detractors cannot discredit her lengthy win-streak and string of highly technical submission finishes over world-class competition.

Her grappling is something that budding fighters should learn from, and while her striking remains rather basic, she more than made up for it with her heart and tenacity. Regardless of whether she returns to the Octagon, her legacy as one of the very best is already secure.
