Ronda Rousey - Female MMA
You may not have ever heard of "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey, but you will.
This five foot four, 145 pound judoka made her MMA debut at KOTC - Turning Point on March 27th, 2011 at the Braemar Country Club in Tarzana, California.
And what a debut it was.
Ronda took on Brazilian Ediane "India" Gomes, who was 6-1-0 going in and submitted her in 25 seconds.....in the first round.
Yep, Rowdy took out a lady that was touted as being one of the best in just 25 seconds.
That victory was enough to put Ronda in MMARising's Unified Women’s Mixed Martial Arts Rankings at number 10.
Ronda was born on February 1st, 1987 in Riverside County, California.
At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Ronda was the youngest judoka there and also in 2004, she won a gold medal at the World Junior Judo Championships in Budapest, Hungary.
Ronda was seventeen at the time.
Ronda is only 1-0-0 right now.
But keep an eye on her.

Nice image. Tarzana is a great location. Does Benny Urquidez still run his gym up there? I always enjoyed training inside his Jetcenter.
