#2 AEW's Marina Shafir and UFC legend Ronda Rousey have lived together

AEW fans might be excited to learn of Marina Shafir's close relationship with Ronda Rousey, who is seemingly no longer with WWE. While it's common knowledge that Marina Shafir, Ronda Rousey, Jessamyn Duke, and Shayna Baszler are close friends and are collectively known as the Four Horsewomen of MMA, they can also lay claim to having once been roommates.

Marina Shafir and Ronda Rousey became close friends when they trained together at the Glendale Fighting Club early on in their mixed martial arts careers. They bonded over their similar backgrounds in Judo.

The two women, alongside fellow Horsewomen Duke and Baszler, have all lived together for a number of years in Venice, California.

Although a dream match between the Horsewomen of both the MMA and WWE didn't come to fruition, Shafir, Rousey, Baszler and Duke have been spotted together on a number of occasions.

It remains to be seen if we will ever get that dream match, but it seems unlikely with 3 of the 4 MMA Horsewomen no longer with WWE. Marina Shafir having debuted for AEW recently may further derail any fans' hopes of one day seeing the match come to fruition.
