Valerie Loureda recently posted Ronda Rousey on her official Twitter account. The 24-year-old WWE budding star showed her gratitude for Rousey. The young WWE fighter went ahead to call Rousey her inspiration. Not to limit the movement till Loureda, several independent female fighters today have taken their set of inspiration from Ronda Rousey. ‘Rowdy’ is considered the pioneer of women’s martial art. In 2012, she became the first woman to be signed by the UFC.

She was also the first American woman to win a bronze medal in Judo. As a fighter and athlete, Ronda Rousey has always offered a lot. However, she has not always received the love she always deserved from her fans and received raging criticism while in the UFC and even in WWE. But Loureda made sure to share her admiration for Rousey.

Ronda Rousey and her WWE admirer

Rousey was recently featured in the official Twitter post of Valerie Loureda. The young WWE fighter posted a photo with Rousey and wrote, “Without her, I would have never been able to step foot in a cage. Thank you for being a pioneer for woman’s martial arts and giving young female fighters like myself the opportunity to live our dream. You will never know how much you inspired me…”

The fighter expressed her gratitude towards her idol. Loureda was confident that she wouldn’t have stepped into the ring if it wasn’t for ‘The Arm Collector’. The founding step by the ex-UFC champion meant a lot to several budding fighters.

It is Rousey’s stubbornness that makes her such a great character. Without this stubbornness, she wouldn’t stand where she does now. When she ran away from her home at the age of 18, she had no idea what she was doing. Rousey wanted to be in charge of her life and decided to make a run for it. This otherwise stupid decision proved to be her best bet. Not just for her, but for other aspiring women fighters.

Ronda Rousey’s struggles

These inspiring stories make fans think of the struggles that all the athletes have to go through to achieve their statuses. This position of influence they are in can really change an aspiring athlete’s life. Without Ronda Rousey, women’s UFC perhaps wouldn’t get as hyped as it is now.

However, she has had her own struggles too: right from her birth to becoming one of the pioneering figures in the combat world.

Although she received a lot of love upon entering WWE after leaving UFC, Rousey still receives criticism. But, heartwarming and heartfelt messages like that of Loureda’s makes things better.
