I don't think this is a Tyson situation because Tyson brought the fear of imminent, theatrical death to every fight he was in.
Rousey fights, at least with how they have ended, strike me as more of a clinical dismantling as opposed to a highlight reel knockout, and not really objectively entertaining.
I'm just spitballing here, but I wonder if a Rousey loss hurts her more because she's not exactly Julianne Moore in the acting department, and without the panache of her invincibility, is she really a draw?
Did she just lose three careers tonight rather than one?

She still has priceless name recognition. Similar to John Cena who has the acting skills of Bristol Palin but yet can get any major role at any given time. If Rousey lost every single serious UFC fan, she would still have a female cult following. Then, there's your everyday horny American who will pay 10 dollars a ticket to potentially see a scene with Rousey wearing nothing but a bath towel.
