Ronda Rousey

Ronda Rousey is possibly the most famous name from Mixed Martial Arts to make the transition to wrestling.

Back when she started in the UFC, she was spearheading their pioneering women's MMA fights. She defeated Liz Carmouche and became the first-ever UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion. She went on to beat Miesha Tate and Cat Zingano. Unfortunately for her, she then lost her first fight and never really got back on her feet following that. Holly Holm defeated her, and then another loss followed when she was trying to make her way back into the UFC, this time to Amanda Nunes. In both those fights, she was stopped by her opponents.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

Since then, she has changed up her career with her wanting to get into acting and starting a family, but also, she became a part of the WWE roster. It did not take long for her to become the RAW Women's Champion. Her domination in the roster became very obvious before she finally lost the title in a Triple Threat Match against Charlotte and Becky Lynch in the main event of WrestleMania 35. Lynch has since been the Champion, but it has appeared that Rousey will make a return to wrestling sometime soon.

Record: 12-2
