Ronda Rousey is not only the most successful woman in the UFC, she is one of the most dominant fighters in mixed martial arts in general. Her training with the Diaz brothers combined with her natural, no-nonsense attitude has elevated her to one of the most ruthless and feared contenders the sport has ever seen. In turn, it wasn't surprising to learn that she recently ripped a reported open after he asked a blatantly ignorant question. This is all leading up to Rhonda's most intense fight to date. Some have even said her undefeated opponent, Cat Zingano, has a statistical advantage.
Ronda grew up in Jamestown, North Dakota. She started her Judo career at the age of 21 and it evolved into mixed martial arts the following year.
She has competed in multiple Olympics and she won several championships in different promotions. Most significantly though, she is the undefeated UFC Bantamweight champion.
Rousey is known for her intimidating persona and her over-the-top presence inside and outside the ring. In a recent interview, as was pointed out by Wrestling Inc., fans saw her live up to her reputation:
"The UFC has released the first episode of Embedded to promote this Saturday's UFC 184 event. The episode follows Ronda Rousey enjoying a rare day off...[Interestingly,] Ronda Rousey bit back sternly at a reporter who questioned whether the all-female headlined UFC 184 could be a bad thing...[Saying,] 'You asking the question really proves that there isn't equality for women yet...If they put up a men's 125-pound main and co-main event, people wouldn't be asking the question...'"
True, it seems that the beautiful tyrant is a little more touchy than usual. According to Sherdog, she might be on edge because her upcoming fight has her worried:
"The undefeated Zingano has for years been considered the most legitimate threat to Rousey's throne outside of Cristiane Justino. Their original fight in 2013 was postponed as the corollary of Zingano's subsequent knee injury. In her UFC run thus far, "Alpha" has looked every part the powerhouse she was advertised as being, as she has brutalized the durable Miesha Tate and ragdolled a surging Amanda Nunes...the Rousey-Zingano championship fight remains an exciting matchup and perhaps the most highly anticipated women's bout to date"
