I have a theory that Rhonda Rousey is probably somewhat overrated. People like to say that she is the best athlete at her sport. That may be true, but it may just be because most women don't dabble at UFC. Lets think about numbers.

What percentage of males participate in football growing up, whether it be flag football, middle school, high school, or just playing with friends in the neighborhood. Certainly above 50%, probably above 75%.

What percentage of females participate in organized fighting of other females, of any kind? Probably less than 1.5%. The participant rate of males is probably 10 to 20 times of this.

What does this mean? It means that Rhonda Rousey likely would not even be a drop in the bucket at MMA if female MMA was as popular to women as watching Shonda Rhimes TV shows. It's certainly fair to say that a larger percentage of the male population gravitates towards aggressive sports and UFC, Boxing etc than females. So, it's easy to argue that it's much more difficult for Mayweather to reach the pinnacle of his sport than Rousey to hers.

I'm not saying Rousey isn't good. She is. But she's 135 lbs, Mayweather is 151 lbs. I think Mayweather would likely win rather easily. If your argument is that MMA is an acquired skill that is more important to winning a physical confrontation than the art of boxing, I get it. But then realize that any decent male UFC fighter, even amateur, would likely devour Rousey.
