UFC 207: The Return of Rowdy Ronda Rousey

The evolution of the sport. I keep saying it. A fighter shows up with something new and is called unstoppable. Then the trainers get enough video of them to pick out the holes in their game and develop counters. Then they get into a fight and their go to move doesn't work anymore and they get used to mop the floor. The better their start, the greater the hype, the more tragic the fall. Randy Couture was one of the few able to come back from it. Rich Franklin, GSP, Anderson Sylva, Brooke Lesner (I deliberately did that), The Iceman ... all crashed out after a long unbeatable run.
