UFC Flyweight Champion Demetrious Johnson recently was asked if he was a more dominant champion than Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey. His response: yes.
“Between me and Ronda? It’s hard, because she’s going out there just blowing through people, but I think you see a true champion’s caliber when he’s tested by his opponents that are put in front of him. My (John) Dodson fight, my second Joseph (Benavidez) fight, my (John) Moraga fight, my Ali Bagautinov fight. Those guys are studs. Not taking anything away from Cat Zingano or Miesha Tate, but those guys are studs. Don’t get me wrong, she goes out there and destroys her opponents, but I think you have to see a champion go through that hardship to see if they really have that championship caliber. She’s a champion, I’m not saying she isn’t, but I’m going to say it’s me.”
