Ronda Rousey has been popping up on everyone's radar, and not simply because she's a bad*ss. Rousey currently holds the UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship, and here's why she's winning at absolutely everything else:
1. She qualified for the 2004 Olympic games at age 17.
Most 17-year-old girls maybe play one or two sports in high school and spend most of their time trying to find the perfect prom dress. Rousey spent her teenage years training for the pinnacle of athleticism and ended up actually making the cut. She then returned to the Olympics in Bejing and won the Bronze Medal in Judo. #winning

2. She's 82-0 in MMA fights.
Since her amateur fighting days, Rousey hasn't lost a single match, with all but two fights lasting under a minute. She's defended her title six times, most recently against Bethe Correia on August 1. Correia lasted only 34 seconds before Rousey knocked her out.
3. She's held the Bantamweight Champion title for three years.
Most fighters talk a lot of game, like Correia did for a week leading up to her fight. Rousey backs her talk with—well, her skill. For three years, she's backed up being the best fighter in MMA by doing nothing but showing the world what she can do—without talking about it at all.
4. She's even started starring in movies.
In 2014, Rousey was in "Expendables 3," marking her first movie appearance. Since then, she's appeared in "Fast and Furious 7" and "Entourage." So in addition to being one of the best fighters in the UFC, she also got to meet The Rock.
