Ronda Rousey is on fire.
Her career thus far has been so dominant (11-0), and her wins lately have been so decisive, that some people honestly believe she could hold her own with the men of UFC.
The thing is, it’s actually not all that ridiculous when you consider that her last two fights have combined to last 30 seconds.
Her ability has gone unmatched in the female’s game, and now she’ll find herself gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated with the headline “World’s Most Dominant Athlete”.
A curious title, considering we just watched a man become 48-0 in his sport, but I digress.
Rousey talks about the Zingano finish in her SI cover story, ““I’m dropping all modesty here,” she said to the magazine. “That’s the most brilliant [expletive] ninja [expletive] I ever saw. Every single millisecond of that fight was something that has never been done before in MMA.”
As if having your last two fights end in 30 seconds wasn’t enough, Rousey is starring in summer blockbusters “Fast 7” and “Entourage.” Never one to have her momentum stall out, Rousey’s memoir “My Fight/Your Fight” was released Tuesday in bookstores nationwide.
The 28-year-old media darling decided to dabble in some pro wrestling in 2015, too, making an in-ring cameo with her “Fast 7” co-star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson at Wrestlemania 32 back in April.
Now, with Tuesday’s SI cover announcement, Rousey’s stock has never been higher. For her next feat, Rousey aims to stay undefeated when she meets Brazilian Bethe Correia at UFC 190 on Aug. 1 in Rio de Janeiro.
Sounds like Ronda is going to be one busy lady this Summer.
Keep in mind, this is also a reflection of pop culture beginning to catch on to the UFC; Ronda Rousey is a main component in their crossover.
Hopefully she can manage to keep her eyes on the prize and continue to dominate in her fights. Otherwise, she won’t be receiving this kind of attention very long.
