When Ronda Rousey enters any arena, all eyes are on her.
For good reason.
Ronda Rousey is an American professional wrestler, actress, former judoka, and mixed martial artist.
Quite a resume.
She is currently signed to WWE, where she performs on the Raw brand and is in a tag team with Shayna Baszler. Prior to joining WWE, she was known for her time in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
Ronda has fans in high places.
She received permission from professional wrestler Roddy Piper to use his "Rowdy" nickname.
She was the first American woman to win an Olympic medal in judo by winning bronze at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Ms. Rousey began her mixed martial arts (MMA) career with King of the Cage in 2011.
She soon joined Strikeforce, becoming their last Women's Bantamweight Champion until its acquisition by UFC.
Time for some early history.
Ronda began judo with her mother at the age of 11.
You won’t believe what you read next.
Ronda trained with her mother until she was 13, when she accidentally broke her mother's wrist. At 17, Rousey was the youngest judoka to qualify for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. She lost in her first match to eventual silver medalist Claudia Heill in the 63 kg bracket.
Also, that year, Rousey won a gold medal at the 2004 World Judo Juniors Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
Her credentials are growing.
In April 2006, she became the first female U.S. judoka in nearly 10 years to win an A-Level tournament as she went 5–0 to claim gold at the Birmingham World Cup in Great Britain. Later that year, the 19-year-old won the bronze medal at the 2006 Junior World Championships, becoming the first U.S. athlete to win two Junior World medals.
Ronda was part of the company's first-ever female fight at UFC 157, was their inaugural Women's Bantamweight Champion, and held the record for most UFC title defenses (6) by a female, until being surpassed by Valentina Shevchenko in 2022.
Ronda retired from MMA in 2016 and was the first female fighter inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2018.
Ronda is the only woman to be the champion in both the UFC and WWE as well as the only woman to headline a pay-per-view event in both companies.
She was voted the best female athlete of all time in a 2015 ESPN fan poll, and Fox Sports described her as "one of the defining athletes of the 21st century." Ronda has also appeared in films, including The Expendables 3 (2014), Furious 7 (2015), and Mile 22 (2018).
See what we mean? Incredibly impressive.
Companies around the world continue to be impressed as well.
Ronda is about to enter a new arena and as usual, all eyes are upon her.
