3. Ronda’s Ghost Punch

It's clear from matches at Elimination Chamber and on Raw that Ruby Riott is not the ideal opponent for Rousey. They haven't clicked, and some of their spots have felt a little off. For example, check out the .GIF of this strike sequence from Ronda.

That second punch was pure fresh air.

Riott looked stupid for selling it like she'd been waffled, and Ronda's sheepish expression failed to hide her own embarrassment. As preferable as it is that a genuine MMA bad ass doesn't stiff the hell out of her co-workers, it's also important that there's some contact.
