All her opponents know it’s coming, but Ronda Rousey has continually secured an armbar against every opponent she’s faced. While she’s only one fight into her UFC career, Rousey is already being mentioned alongside champions and elite submission artists like Jon Jones, Renan Barao and others.
Following her coaching duties opposite Miesha Tate on The Ultimate Fighter 18, Rousey will attempt to keep her unprecedented run of armbars going against her arch enemy at UFC 168.
While the level of competition in the women’s bantamweight division has been questioned, Rousey’s ability to repeatedly secure the same submission against the best in her weight class has been an impressive display of execution. If Rousey continues her armbar streak against an opponent who has experience competing with her, it will become harder and harder for even the champion’s biggest critics to deny she’s one of the most talented grapplers in MMA.
