Ronda Rousey is the first-ever female American to have won a medal in Judo. This may have been the end of the road for many fighters, not her ‘Rowdy’ though. In fact, she left Judo at 21 after the Olympics and trained in Jiu Jitsu at Dynamix MMA. She also trained with Rener Gracie and BJ Penn. Ronda also showed her talent in acting. She appeared in The Expendables 3 and Furious 7.

Rousey broke her Mom’s wrist while training with her when she was 13. She broke a lot of things thereafter. The jinx of an American woman never winning an Olympic gold, the stereotype that she will never get into MMA because she was” too pretty to be hit in the face”. A lot of contemporary records and a lot of bones during her career. To call her a fraud is just delusional and probably biased. Do you think Rousey is a fraud?
