Rousey once revealed that she wouldn’t be able to perform an arm bar on a Poliwag. As for starters, the water-type Pokemon has no hands to perform the move on.
Notably, Poliwag is a tadpole category Pokemon and thus has only a tail and two small feet to swim in rivers. Although it can be a challenge for Rousey to fight an evolved Poliwag, aka the Poliwrath, which is around 119 lbs while also being a fighting type Pokemon.
