The fans often consider Ronda Rousey as one of the most prominent UFC fighters. During her remarkable stint, she won 12 consecutive fights with most of the wins coming in the first round itself. Outside the octagon, she also associated herself with various other fields.

But, ‘The Baddest Woman on the Planet’ has had her fair share of defeats as well. Rousey suffered her first UFC loss against Holly Holm, which came in the first round in 59 seconds. However, now it seems Holm has again defeated Rousey in another field.

A few days ago, Pour Moi, a lingerie company in the U.K went through 1,15,000 suggestive tweets that featured the words ‘hot’, ‘ho*ny’ and ‘sexy’ written about 100 different celebrities. This was to determine the sexiest star across all the fields in the world.

This list included stars like David Beckham, Anthony Joshua, Angelina Jolie, etc. As reported by MMA Junkie, Holly Holm was ahead of Ronda Rousey on that list. Moreover, ‘The Preacher’s Daughter’ beat major stars from other fields too.

The Rowdy One made her debut for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit as a model in 2015. It made the headlines, and the fans were all over it. However, in this Pour Moi list, Holm is number three and Rousey is number 10.

Rousey and Holm faced each other at UFC 193. In that most awaited match, The Baddest Woman lost as Holm connected a brutal head kick. This was the first time Ronda Rousey lost in the UFC and later, she was defeated by Amanda Nunes at UFC 207.

After her loss to Nunes, The Arm Collector took some time off before signing a contract with WWE. Today Rousey is a UFC legend and has won RAW Woman’s title and SmackDown Woman’s title once each. She is also one of the first women to Main-Event WrestleMania.

How much money is Ronda Rousey making in WWE?

The Rowdy One signed with WWE in early 2018 after leaving the UFC. She made her debut at the end of the inaugural Women’s Royal Rumble match, which Asuka won. She first wrestled in a mixed-tag team match against Stephanie McMahon and Triple H teaming with Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 34.
