The moment MMA fans across the world celebrated

Ronda Rousey’s dismantling of the UFC Women’s Bantamweight division brought her unprecedented success and she was the proverbial Golden Girl of the promotion back in 2015. It didn’t look like she was ever going to lose.

In fact, her dominance was so great that a number of people all around the world started putting Rousey on a pedestal like none before her with respected UFC commentator, Joe Rogan, even remarking that she could take out some of the competition from the men’s side of fighting.
