After her audacious claim, fans quickly responded by reminding Rousey of her UFC losses and dismissing her claim as the greatest ever MMA fighter.
One user wrote, “Greatest marshal artist? Holly Holm’s foot and Amanda Nunes’ fists would disagree with that.” Another user commented, “Somewhere…if you listen really hard…you can still hear the echo of that kick Holly Holmes landed on your face.” One more user wrote, “Why is she talking about Amanda when she didn’t wrestle? That’s weird.”
Fans ridiculed Rousey’s statement even further. A user wrote, “Put the crackpipe down“, while another said, “Sorry Ronda the greatest isn’t you.” Some fans continued to mention her defeat to Holly Holm.
A fan wrote, “Greatest martial artist to ever live” holly holm thinks otherwise. One fan also threw shade at Rousey for having Shayna Baszler at ringside writing, “And yet you need a bodyguard.”

Many fans also reminded her of the MMA legend Bruce Lee. One fan wrote, “Great? Yes. Greatest? No. That will always belong to Bruce Lee.”
Another fan wrote, “Really Ronda? Would love to see how you faired against Bruce Lee.” One more user commented, I don’t see Bruce Lee in there and another wrote, “I wonder what it would be like to inhabit the body of Bruce Lee.” A fan also wrote, “cut to Bruce Lee considering resurrection upon hearing about this caption in the afterlife.”
Ronda Rousey has accomplished a lot in her MMA career. She is perhaps up there with some of the best female MMA fighters of all time.
