Ronda Rousey's mother is a judo champion, who in 1984 became the first American ever to win the World Judo Championship. Rousey followed in her mother's footsteps, ranking #1 in the United States at age 16, and in 2008 became the first American to win a women's judo medal in the Olympic Games. But one cannot earn a living at judo. Rousey entered the world of Mixed Martial Arts as an amateur in 2010 and as a professional the following year. In 2012 she became Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight Champion. And though UFC had long opposed women sparring in the "octagon", Rousey fought and defeated Liz Carmouche in the first round on 23 February 2013. Today she is by far the most popular woman in MMA.
