Really the biggest reason Rousey could lose her belt in just under two weeks is that Cat Zingano really is that good. She's focused. She's fought through the death of her husband, a severe knee injury, and remains, like Rousey, undefeated in her professional career. Zingano was the first woman to win a UFC fight by TKO. She's 9-0 in her MMA career, with just one professional fight less than Rousey, and like Rousey, she finishes fights - eight of her nine wins have been finishes. She's fought in a Fight of the Night bout in the UFC (her win over Miesha Tate). She has powerful knees, vicious elbows, and excellent striking accuracy. She's held four titles in two different MMA promotions prior to the UFC. In short, she's just that good - and perhaps the last legitimate threat to Rousey in the foreseeable future.
