Ronda Rousey is one of the most brutal wrestlers in WWE right now, male or female. But where does this ferocity and resilience come from? Well, of course, through her stint in the UFC and her MMA training and bouts outside Dana White’s company. While Rousey only held the big title in the UFC women’s division for 12 fights, we should never underestimate her influence.

Leaving her dream of winning the Gold at the Olympics for Judo, Rousey trained for MMA. And after a lot of setbacks, she was able to compete in MMA bouts. But after seeing the attraction that Rousey garnered, White was ready to introduce the women’s roster of the UFC to the world.

Not only was she the reason for women fighting in the UFC’s Octagon, but she was also the first women’s champion in the company as well. While she lost to Holly Holm after retaining the title several times, she made her presence known in the sports industry.

So after Rousey tweeted about the recent women’s bout, fans tweeted all about her influence in the comments.

Fans cheer Ronda Rousey after she mentions the recent fight at UFC 281

After Ronda Rousey tweeted about the recent women’s match at UFC 281, fans rallied in unison talking about her influence.

If we take away the influence of Rousey, the UFC women’s division would not be at the same level it is right now.

She was, is, and will forever be remembered for all the work she did for the women’s division in the UFC.

It’s amazing to look back at the moment when Ronda was working in the UFC and compare it to the way MMA is right now. Nothing is different, only people are working extra work to be at the top.

For all the UFC fans who stopped watching her career trajectory after her exit, she has been killing it in the WWE women’s division as well.

It will be a great homecoming for Rousey if she were to go back to the place where her popularity grew ten folds.

While she might have been the pioneer and trailblazer in the UFC during her time, she has been doing the same work in WWE right now.

While the plain and simple answer might be no, Ronda has also shown no interest in hinting a return to MMA after her 13 fights.
