Wow reminds one of how many big falls from grace there have been in MMA. All good answers . Most champions will see a hard fall if they don't go out on top because once age/injuries/doubt kicks in there is no coming back. Very rough sport for anyone past their prime
Over all I agree with most people #1 Rousey #2 Jones
- both fell in their primes
- both viewed as the best/unbeatable by most in their respective divisions (or p4p)
Rousey's was worse because she a was hyped as the best but lost brutally and embarrassingly, publicly fell apart then lost embarrassingly again
Jones never lost so still considered best by many, but he tarnished his legacy and ruined his career so his wins will always be discredited
Both could potentially return some day, but never the level they were viewed at before
