Ronda Rousey Becomes First Woman To Enter UFC Hall Of Fame

The baddest woman on the planet can add one more accomplishment to her outstanding career.

On Thursday evening, Ronda Rousey because the first woman to be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame. Her list of accolades is quite remarkable; she was the first UFC Women’s Champion, and held the bantamweight belt from 2012 to 2015.

In addition, she won her first 12 professional mixed martial arts fights all by submission, with 11 of them ending in the first round. All but three of those fights were decided in under one minute, and Rousey owns records for four of the five fastest finishes in UFC women’s bantamweight history.

“I am not the first person who had the ability to do this, but I am here because I am the first person you took the time to watch,” Rousey told the crowd at the Pearl Theatre during her induction speech. “That you put the energy into supporting. Because of you, I am the first woman standing up here accepting this incredible honor. May I be the first of many.”

“Every time I walked into that cage, I was hoping to make you proud,” Rousey told the crowd. “We have had this incredible journey, and it was really an honor to be able to live it with you.”

Editor’s Opinion:

I’m so happy for her, and this is so well-deserved. Clearly, she is one of the best fighters of all time, and her transition to professional wrestling has been as seamless as it could be. Congratulations on this amazing accomplishment!
