Ronda Rousey
Many may not have been aware, but prior to dominating the MMA scene, Ronda Rousey had already gained widespread recognition. She achieved the distinction of being the first American woman to win an Olympic honor in judo, securing a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
This achievement served as a launching pad for her subsequent venture into the world of MMA, leading to the remarkable trajectory that followed. Leveraging her pre-existing fame and popularity, Rousey successfully transitioned into a career in the WWE, where she showcased her skills by skillfully maneuvering and flipping her opponents within the ring, even though the fights are predetermined in the present day.
