Ronda Rousey may be the most intimidating athlete that I have ever seen, and she’s certainly a force to be reckoned with in MMA and the women’s Strikeforce circuit.
At this point, it seems like she may be unstoppable.
She has everything that you look for in a fighter.
She’s incredibly athletic, very technically sound and performs her techniques with a level of skill and aggression that is unmatched right now in women’s Strikeforce.
In a sport that is so physically imposing to both perform and watch, technique seems to be the thing that gets thrown out the window, especially by viewers.
I can guarantee you that Rousey does not neglect practicing her techniques.
Of course everybody wants to see that knockout punch and bloody noses, but isn’t a perfect armbar technique just as effective?
Just ask Julia Budd how she is feeling after Rousey absolutely mangled her elbow with a beautifully executed armbar.
It may not be “sexy” like a throw or punch, and the wrestling and grappling side of the sport is certainly not as glamorous.
There is no doubting the fact that Rousey is quickly becoming the face of women’s MMA. Since entering her professional scene, her record stands at 4-0 and none of those fights have lasted longer than 57 seconds.
They all ended because of that armbar.
