Before quitting the sport of judo at the age of 21 to pursue MMA as a new career, Rousey went on to earn a great deal more medals in that discipline.
She worked a variety of jobs while concentrating completely on her mixed martial arts training, including waitressing, bartending, and other employment.
She made her MMA debut in 2011, and she advanced swiftly in the UFC.
After dominating the boxing world for 12 straight fights, stardom followed.
When she made her WWE debut on April 8, 2018, she already had a record-breaking number of main events under her belt.
She pleasantly surprised everyone at the Royal Rumble in January 2018. She joined the WWE RAW team in March 2018.
She won her first Raw Championship on August 19, 2018, by defeating Alexa Bliss.
A month later, on September 16, she successfully defended her championship by defeating Bliss once more at a WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event.
Rousey’s 231-day reign as the WWE Women’s Champion, which was a record for the WWE Women’s Division, came to an end when she was defeated by Lynch in her debut WWE bout in March 2019.
