I assume you are joking because its a pretty common joke to refer to the fact that her division is so new and needs so much time and work to get to her level, but this is as good a time as any to say that there's a reason why weight divisions exist.
Sometimes its good to jump one weight class if someone is a freak of nature at their weight class, but no one is eager to see Mighty Mouse try to fight, say Weidman. That would be a joke. To me, asking for Ronda to fight small men makes about as much sense as asking DC to wrestle a small, defanged, declawed kodiak bear. That would be a circus sideshow. Even if we picked a pretty weak, injured, old dwarf bear that DC would potentially out-wrestle somehow, I still don't want to see that.
If we had a dominant multi-year heavyweight champion, no one would give him shit because there's no other options, we'd just sit back and admire his reign. Its fine to celebrate champions of other divisions without qualification.
