Ronda Rousey made history on Sunday when she became the first female to win WWE and UFC championship belts. She did so by beating Alexa Bliss for the women’s title in the co-main event of WWE SummerSlam, which took place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. Prior to Rousey’s (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) accomplishment, Brock Lesnar (5-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) was the only person to win belts in the professional wrestling and MMA organizations.
