3 Reasons Why Ronda Rousey is the Ultimate WCW!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UIC chapter.

Here are 3 reasons why Ronda Rousey is the ultimate Women Crush Wednesday!

1. She is undefeated…

As of now, Ronda Rousey is 12-0-0 with 3 knockouts. She is a mixed martial artist, judoka, and undefeated in the UFC. Not only is she undefeated, Ronda is also a Bantamweight Champion. (Bantamweight meaning fighters under 135 pounds). Out of the twelve females she has fought, she has always came out on top. 

2. Rousey is a huge supporter of positive body image.

During interviews Ronda talks about how there should never be a certain “cookie cutter” shape every girl or woman should aspire to be. During her photoshoot for the cover of Sports Illustrated, she explained that growing up she always felt her body was “uncommon” and never saw her body as being the “conventional feminine body type”. Now looking back, she says that every muscle in her body has a purpose, and no one is going to have the same body type. She is a role model for body image because she supports all body types out there and pushes every female to make their body what they want of it. 

3. She is the first woman to be on the cover of Mens Health!

Rhonda Rousey is the first women to be on the cover of the magazine Mens Health ever. She will be featured on the Australia edition due to the fact her next fight will be against Holly Holm in Melbourne on November 15th. 

Rhonda Rousey’s name is becoming more and more heard of since she is an undefeated UFC fighter, an actress, and is breaking more and more barriers even outside of the ring. She is huge supporter of everything she does and she gives each fight her all, just like all her beliefs in life. Check out her next fight against Holm on November 15th in Melbourne, Australia and see if she keeps her title as an undefeated UFC champion, because she is one tough chick you won’t want to miss!
