History

Historical Context

Ronda Rousey broke new ground when UFC President Dana White crowned her the inaugural women’s bantamweight champion at UFC 157 on Feb 23 2013, defeating Liz Carmouche by armbar. She amassed six title defenses, including a 14-second win over Cat Zingano in 2015, and now channels that pioneering profile into a regenerative farm and Hawaii dojo with Travis Browne, reshaping post-career paths for elite fighters.
