Ronda Rousey is an all-time name when it comes to domination in the world of combat sports. Born on February 1, 1987, in Riverside, California, she initially made headlines as a judoka, later becoming the first American lady to win a bronze medal in judo at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She transitioned to mixed martial arts (MMA) and became the first-ever UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion, thereby changing the future of this sport by proving that women can play main-event shows. Her aggressive fighting style and that one most-feared submission, the armbar, made her one of the scariest fighters to fight in the octagon.
After leaving MMA, Rousey entered professional wrestling, joining WWE in 2018. In no time, she won the Raw Women's Championship and headlined WrestleMania 35, where she competed in the first-ever women's main event along with Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair.
The switch made from MMA to pro wrestling truly reflects the versatility of this phenomenal athlete-entertainer fusion. It places her among some of the most influential figures in the history of women's sports.
The ferocity of power wrestling outside combat sports has seen Rousey vent acting, boasting credits in films such as Furious 7 and Mile 22. The 'Fighter' has also spoken vocally for gender equality and spearheaded body positivity in sports. Still, with millions of fans behind her, Rousey continues inspiring younger generations and redefining power to mean that which can be easy with several arenas. Whether in the cage, ring, or the world of Hollywood, Ronda Rousey is always a force to reckon with.
