10 Consequences Of Ronda Rousey Losing Her UFC Championship
8. The Four Horsewomen Are Really A Non-Entity Now
Ronda Rousey's Four Horsewomen "stable" was much ballyhooed for a while. A team of skilled MMA fighters with Rousey at the helm seemed like an unstoppable force. Then all but Rousey started losing.

Marina Shafir has lost two straight, is 1-2 as a pro, and looks to be a long shot to ever make the UFC. The going theory was that their association with Rousey was keeping them employed, but now that she's no longer champ, there's a question as to how much slack they'll get.
