Most fighters can point to a moment in time when mixed martial arts caught their eye and they said, “I could do that.” UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is no different. She had already competed in the 2004 Olympics as a Judoka – where she failed to medal – and was in the middle of another run, preparing for the 2008 Olympics, where she would win a bronze medal. She became the first American to win an Olympic medal in women’s judo. It was her judo team that unintentionally exposed her move to a career in fighting.
