The sport where the gender barrier will be broken is going to be the one where competitors punch each other in the face, and is almost entirely dependent on things like speed, strength and reflexes. Not tennis, or basketball, or soccer, but MMA. Makes perfect sense.

Not to mention guys in the UFC are juiced to high hell. Ronda has no chance at all. That's what makes Cyborg so dangerous, she's juiced up as well or has done enough cycles that her current strength is ridiculous compared to any woman IMO.
 
Yep. Although those guys are much bigger than her and once great fighters, they're clearly not trying. And it's just grappling. I don't think Ronda could overcome the strength, speed, reflex difference to beat a guy her size or smaller, in the ufc. It would end in a first round KO, everytime.

I doubt Rousey could win against the men's Olympic side (pure Judo rules). So how is she going to beat a dude in the UFC when you add in punching and kicking?

(okay, I think I got it, quote away)

There's been quite a few cases where women have beaten men in grappling and striking competitions. I think if Rousey is up against someone her weight, she could beat them.
