Cat Zingano is a tough fighter with strong strikes, but most people are thinking that Ronda Rousey is going to use her patented throws and armbar to finish that fight as he always does, in the first round. I think the fighter that has the best odds of beating Rousey at this point is Sara McMann. Cyborg Santos is likely out of the picture, because she doesn't want to fight at 135, so it doesn't even make sense throwing out her name, despite the fact that she is a devastating striker.
McMann however is very much relevant in the division and is the most likely person to fight Rousey next, if Rousey does in fact defeat Zingano. But what makes McMann dangerous style-wise is that she can put Rousey on her back. Rousey has been dominating by tossing her opponents to the mat and from there armbarring them from top position. We haven't really had a chance to see Rousey be on her back with a tremendous wrestler working from on top. It will be very interesting to see these two fight because of that and also because they are both Olympic medalist, with Ronda winning in Judo and McMann in wrestling. So this will be one of the most decorated athletic fights in MMA history, and between two women.
