Rousey, who was out of MMA sports for two years after suffering disastrous losses in her last two fights under the UFC banner. During her peak time in UFC, Rousey steamrolled all the top contenders in the division. However, all that vanishes, when Rousey defeated by Holly Holm at UFC 193 via head kick knockout back in November 2015. Then, she returned at UFC 207 in 2016 and suffered a 48-second TKO loss to Amanda Nunes.
After those losses, Rousey went camouflage and didn’t talk to media for some time. Earlier this year she signed with WWE where the 30-year-old made her professional debut at Royal Rumble PPV in Philadelphia, one of WWE’s flagship events. Rousey also took part in WrestleMania 34 back in April, where she teams up with Kurt Angle to take on the WWE power couple in a mixed tag team match Paul “Triple H” Levesque and Stephanie McMahon and impresses the audience with her excellent performance.
With the win, Ronda Rousey joins Brock Lesnar and Ken Shamrock as they are the only fighters to win titles in both the WWE and UFC (Rousey the first woman).
