Yeah, that track record is bad.
JJ is different than both of those examples. I would argue she was beat close to as soundly as the other examples but she is still at the top of her game. Ronda and Anderson had both let the fight game pass them by physically, mentally, and or strategically.
JJ’s problem is she doesn’t have a lot of power and she is hitable. She relies on beautiful combos and cardio to outwork her opponent and hit them two or three times every time she gets hit. This works extremely well for doing damage and winning with the judges. The problem JJ had is Rose just sat on a couple of bombs and they both connected. JJ needs to be a little more unpredictable and a lot harder to hit in the next fight.
