Is Ronda Rousey The Truth ?

Rousey Proves Shes The Best 

Without reasonable doubt we all know exactly who the best female fighter is on the planet. For the longest, the sports world believed the queen to the throne was none other than daughter of Muhammad Ali, Laila who finished her career undefeated. But as of lately there's a new queen who took the title by force..literally. 

Ronda Rowdy Rousey is hands down the best female fighter on the planet. Her last couple of fights proved  just how dominate she is. Not to mention her last five fights selling more tickets and more Pay-Per View purchases than that of some male UFC fighters.. Ronda Rousey hushed all naysayers this past weekend in her UFC 190 vs Bethe Correia on her own turf in just 34 seconds, by a nice combination of punches. It was such a great victory because UFC fans are used to seeing Rousey dominate her opponents and submitting them via armbar. Most articles include highlights of sports outings, but this highlight is actually the length of the entire fight so that just adds the cherry on top. 





Quite frankly, Rousey is a beautiful badass dominating the sport of mixed martial arts. She is the only female fighter undefeated and leads the UFC in the category of wins by armbar (including men). Many feel that her on screen character is too cocky and arrogant for a "women". But in many opinions, including her own, she carries herself in a unique way that helps her have that one up on her opponent. Similar to that of Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, one can draw the similarities to their bold and in your face mentality. Mike Tyson in many interviews, explained just how important it is to get in your opponents head pre-fight and stay there because you've already won. Additionally, as a UFC fighter you have to have a different kind of swag to your character and added to that as a women you aren't taken as serious. So as a mere sex symbol, Rousey feels that she has to carry herself in a way that isn't like every other female celebrity.  


Her antics are also hilarious, in a interview she was asked whether or not she would ever fight boxer Floyd Mayweather, her response was "unless we ended up dating," an apparent reference to domestic violence allegations against him. Then again, recently at the ESPYS, Ronda won the award for the best fighter and she remarked, "I wonder how Floyd feels being beat by a woman for once."- CNN Sports 

Its been nothing but pure excitement and watching Ronda Rouse fight. Not only as a female athlete but a woman inspiring others to find something they're good at and perfect it. Out of the ring, Rousey isn't always what she is portrayed to be.




Before the fight, Rousey stated that if she won she would give the belt to a youth Judo School in Brazil, and that's just what she did.

Ronda's next fight could potentially be her arch nemesis Miesha Tate. The two have a fun past of hate four letter word exchanges but Rousey ultimately had the last laugh defeating her for the title in 2013 at UFC 168. So the thought of a round 3 fight between the two is going to great!
