Ronda Rousey’s contribution to mixed martial arts is unmatched. In her professional career of 14 fights, Rousey spearheaded the rise of women’s MMA. After her time in the octagon, Rousey even ventured into the WWE and achieved success there. The Olympic gold medalist’s career has served as an inspiration for many. Recently, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay spoke about the same.

In a YouTube video on the celebrity chef’s channel, Ramsay and Rousey were seen cooking together. Before they began, Ramsay complimented Rousey for her career. He said, “First of all, congratulations. First ever double champion, not just in the UFC but WWE as well, right?… I mean you look at that resume. You are only 33 years of age.

He further mentioned how Rousey served as an inspiration for his kids. Gordon Ramsay added, “I got three daughters. They’ve all been big fans since the age of nine, ten. And now they wanna wrestle, they started the jiu-jitsu, and they train, and they just wanna be the next Ronda. Do you have any idea the impact you’ve had on that female sort of upbringing? ” 

Rousey seemed delighted by these words from Ramsay. She replied, “I’m aware that my daughters gonna have to deal with lesser bu**s**t than me and my mom did a lot of work to make sure I’ve dealt with lesser bulls**t than her and so your daughters are next in the relay.

While Rousey saw tremendous success in the octagon, she also met with failure. Even though she tried to make a comeback, Rousey was unsuccessful and later transitioned to other things.

The decline of Ronda Rousey in MMA

In her 14-fight MMA career, Ronda Rousey saw a lot of success. Upon her signing with the UFC in 2012, Rousey was declared the UFC bantamweight champion. The Olympic gold medalist also made six successful title defenses, but after that, she faced a decline in her steady career.

In the seventh title defense of her 135-pound crown, Ronda Rousey faced Holly Holm at UFC 193. While Rousey was known for her grappling credentials, Holm was considered one of the best strikers in the division. The latter proved that claim as she managed distance against Rousey, landed her strikes, and eventually won by a knockout in Round 2.

This loss to Holm was the first for Ronda Rousey. After taking her time from this devastating loss, Rousey returned to face then UFC bantamweight champion, Amanda Nunes at UFC 207. While Rousey’s fans had great expectations for her return, things went south when Amanda Nunes won the fight via TKO within 48 seconds of round 1.

Since the loss of Nunes, Ronda Rousey never returned to the octagon. She eventually transitioned into the WWE and achieved a lot of success. Rousey also made appearances in a couple of movies.
