The Speed Bag: Let's compare and contrast Ronda Rousey and Conor McGregor, shall we?

In case you missed it (you didn’t), Ronda Rousey got blasted in her return this past Friday at UFC 207.

And after her brutal TKO loss to Amanda Nunes, there were plenty of folks who couldn’t wait to revel in Rousey’s misery. And there were others who wish all the haters would just back off a bit.

It’s not that much unlike when Conor McGregor got beat up and choked out by Nate Diaz earlier this year – except when McGregor came back, he did it by backing up his statements that he was going to come back stronger.

Did Rousey? Not if you take her fight against Nunes as a singular example. Will she rally and try to come back again, or ride off into entertainment?

In the latest edition of The Speed Bag, Ben Fowlkes compares and contrasts the UFC’s two biggest stars.
