History Creator / RondaRousey

* TheApprentice: To the legendary Gene [=LeBell=], master of judo and catch wrestling.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: Averted after her two fights against Miesha Tate; they still can't stand each other, though both have said in interviews that it's mostly professional rivalry; they each want to be champion and, well, there's only one of those.

'''"Rowdy" Ronda Rousey''' (born February 1, 1987) is an American mixed martial artist, former Olympic judoka and actress. She is the first and current {{UFC}} Women's Bantamweight Champion, as well as the last Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight Champion. Rousey is the first American woman to earn an Olympic medal in Judo at the Summer Olympics in Beijing in 2008. She is perhaps the most well known female fighter in the world, eclipsing former MMA Fighter Creator/GinaCarano. She is widely considered to be the number 1 ranked female fighter in the world. She has recently made her ProfessionalWrestling debut in the Creator/{{WWE}}'s Wrestling/WrestleMania 31.

%%* AmazonianBeauty

* BoringButPractical: Her main method of ending fights is by submitting her opponents with the ''juji-gatame'' or armbar, one of the most basic submissions on the book.
* CurbStompBattle: Much like her predecessor Gina Carano, every single one of her MMA fights has been one.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: Averted after her two fights against Miesha Tate; they still can't stand each other.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: She's been making a habit of mouthing off to Floyd Mayweather, a boxer who's regarded as the best fighter on the planet (and who is known for badmouthing MMA regularly), in order to goad him into a match with her. Of course, Ronda's actually got the skill to back her words

* SingleStrokeBattle: Her fight against Cat Zingano? ''fourteen fucking seconds'' after an arm bar.

* AlliterativeName: And RedBaron too.
* AmazonianBeauty

* CuteBruiser

** [[PromotedFanboy Promoted Fangirl]]: To the point that she has now in the WWE starting with [=WrestleMania=] 31.

* HateDumb: She has gotten a lot of hate from fans for being very vocal about women's MMA (it can be argued that she's the only reason a women's division in the UFC even exists) and for refusing to fight Chris Cyborg. A fight with with Cyborg is not even possible due to the fact that Cyborg is not, and has never, signed with the UFC, fights in a different weight class and had issues with passing drug tests.

* TheThreeCertaintiesInLife: Because of the way her first eight fights ended, a popular slogan was coined: "Death. Taxes. Rousey by armbar."
** This is actually a reference to a old meme in the MMA fandom, "Rickson by armbar", refered to what everybody expected of Rickson Gracie's opponent's during his prime.

* BoringButPractical: Her main method of ending fights is by submitting her opponents with an arm bar: a very basic joint lock.

** Before her first with her rival Miesha Tate, Miesha bragged about how she'd had never been mounted or submitted; of course Ronda does that to her in about [[CurbStompBattle a minute and thirty seconds]]. She also bragged about how much better Wrestling was than Judo...

* TheThreeCertaintiesInLife: Because of the way her first eight fights ended, a popular slogan was coined: "Death. Taxes. Rousey by armbar."

* '''OneOfUs''': Let's count the ways that Ronda Rousey would fit in here:
** She ''loves'' Pokemon. As in, she plays it daily.
** She also plays WorldOfWarcraft.
** She's an admitted anime fan and lover of Internet memes.

* OneOfUs: Big video game fan., particularly {{Pokemon}}.

** Prior to her fight with Bethe Correia, the latter made the mistake of referencing Rousey's father's suicide by telling her "don't commit suicide after you lose this match." She also repeatedly told her immediately before the fight not to cry, referencing the fact that Rousey cried in some interviews while talking about her father's death. Rousey proceeded to completely demolish Correia, knocking her out in a mere 34 seconds.

* TemptingFate: Before her first with her rival Miesha Tate, Miesha bragged about how she'd had never been mounted or submitted; of course Ronda does that to her in about [[CurbStompBattle a minute and thirty seconds]]. She also bragged about how much better Wrestling was than Judo...

* SingleStrokeBattle: Her victory against Alexis Davis ended in ''sixteen seconds'' after a takedown followed by a series of punches to the head.
** Her next fight against Cat Zingano? ''fourteen fucking seconds'' after an arm bar.

She has recently made her ProfessionalWrestling debut in the Creator/{{WWE}}'s Wrestling/WrestleMania 31.

* OneOfUs: Is self-admittedly a huge fan of ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', as seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vl6p9OhJhc here.]]
** She came to Wrestling/WrestleMania 31 in an [[Franchise/DragonBall "OVER 9000!"]] t-shirt.

* {{Squick}}: If the sight of elbows bending the wrong way makes you squeamish, it's best to avoid watching her fights.

* {{HSQ}}: Her appearance at [=WrestleMania=] 31 definitely qualifies. The fact is, ''nobody'' in either the wrestling or MMA fan communities knew she was going to participate in an angle in WWE (although it was generally well-known that she would attend). Secondly, she managed to look as {{Badass}} as ever in a wrestling ring with [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]], Wrestling/TripleH, and Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon. As a result, she went home with that night's most talked about moment...or would have, had it not been for [[spoiler: Wrestling/SethRollins winning the WWE Championship at the end of the main event.]]

* [[FaceOfTheBand Face of the Company]]: She's often considered this not just of the UFC's women's division but of UFC as a whole.

* RedBaron: Rowdy.
