Ronda Rousey was the first American woman to earn an Olympic medal in judo (bronze), which she won at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. She is the former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion, as well as the last Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight Champion. She won 12 consecutive MMA fights, six in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). In May 2015, two magazines ranked Rousey as the most "dominant" active athlete. In September 2015, voters in an online ESPN poll selected Rousey as the Best Female Athlete Ever. Rousey's first feature film role was the 2014 film The Expendables 3. In 2015, she had roles in the films Furious 7 and Entourage. Rousey’s flaws were exposed in her losses to Holly Holm in November 2015 and Amanda Nunes on December 2016. Her stand up-game was very limited given her relatively short MMA career. She had little head movement, does not respond well to getting hit and tends to be robotic when forced to fight standing up.

Holly Holm is already the answer to a trivia question as the first fighter to dominate and defeat Ronda Rousey. She's trying these days to avoid another rather dubious fight conversation.
