At the rate that Ronda Rousey is disposing her opponents, many believe that it will take someone special and talented to hand the reigning UFC Women's Bantamweight champion her first loss in the UFC.
Her last opponents barely lasted a minute with her in the Octagon, the last being a 34-second win over Bethe Correia at UFC 190 where Rousey unleashed a flurry of punches that eventually knocked out the PitBull.
By far it has been the longest of the short time finishes that Rousey has made though her next rumored opponents could do better.
On one end is Miesha Tate, someone Rousey has faced twice before and defeated. Against Tate, Rousey is a 1000 (10/1) favorite, the odds (according to Bovada) of which are not really surprising.
One thing going for Tate is her resiliency. The first time out, Tate showed her toughness and almost broke her arm in the process. Regardless of her two defeats, Tate is the only fighter who was able to go beyond the first round against Rousey.
On the other hand is another rumored opponent, Cris 'Cyborg' Justino.
This is the match that folks want to see though there are a lot of prerequisites she has to satisfy before UFC president Dana White would allow her to face Rousey.
One is she has to go down the weight class (or at least at a point where she and Rousey can reach an agreement). The other is that she has to fight at least once in that weight class before she is given the green light to face the UFC champ.
Against Justino, Bovada calls it -375 (4/15) on Rousey. Apparently this is a much better matchup tough it may have to undergo a series of conditions that Rousey and White require.
There is no official word yet on who and when the fight will take place but expect Rousey to be ready. Will she finally taste defeat? For now it doesn't seem convincing enough even with Tate and Justino touted as possible opponents.
