I know you're making a joke, but I don't think it works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_Zingano#Mixed_martial_arts...



My point, made in jest, was that even the most seemingly prepared, skilled, and qualified person can be unprepared for a skilled opponent. I was aware of her record, hence the example. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you?


She's demonstrably prepared for a fight with a skilled opponent. She's just not prepared for the most skilled opponent - but right now, it appears that no other woman on the planet is. Surely our bar for "skilled opponent" in this discussion has not been Ronda Rousey, a bronze medalist in Judo and the most dominant female MMA champion, ever.


It seems I misjudged the conversation and should not have made a joke. My apologies.
