As you can see, the odds for Rousey's fights got more and more lopsided as she was in the midst of her winning streak that included wins over Carmouche, Kaufman, McMann, Davis and Zingano.
By the time that Rousey stepped into the Octagon against Holly Holm at UFC 193, she was viewed as an unstoppable force who would dispatch any opponent in less than a minute. As a matter of fact, there was actually semi-serious talk at the time regarding how Rousey would fare against some of the men in the Bantamweight division.
All of that talk came to a crashing halt, however, after Holm knocked out Rousey with a kick to the head.
Will Rousey be able to re-establish her dominance, or is her time as a dominant fighter over?
