Ronda Rousey: Fans Are Excited To Watch Women’s MMA Now
Ronda Rousey has been at the forefront of Women’s MMA since she debuted back in 2011. ‘Rowdy’ has captured the public eye with her gutsy attitude and clinical finishing abilities. Her recent stint on The Ultimate Fighter and subsequent armbar victor over Miesha Tate has solidified Rousey’s status as the biggest WMMA star.
Rousey’s Judo credentials make her a nightmare for any top flight competitor, but her personality plays just as big a part in her fame at present. Check out what the Women’s Bantamweight champ had to say about WMMA and her stint on TUF:
“I am so overjoyed that it’s happened so quickly. The women’s MMA experiment is now two divisions. It’s no longer experimental. We’re winning Fights of the Night, and the fans are excited about it.”
“I’m really happy that the last The Ultimate Fighter (season 18) had guys and girls because it really showed the ratings difference between when the girls are fighting, and the guys are fighting. The girls actually got more ratings so it really, I think, encouraged them to open up a season that’s all girls.”
The sport of MMA is constantly evolving, and Rowsey is part of a trend that looks like it has caught on. Rousey vs. Tate II was a co-main to Weidman vs. Silva II at UFC 168; an idea that would have been laughed at three years ago.
