UFC
Ronda Rousey made her professional MMA debut in early 2011, quickly racking up a series of first-round victories. She was then signed by the UFC, and in November 2012, she became the first woman to fight in the UFC when she defeated Liz Carmouche. She would go on to win her next six UFC fights, all by first-round knockout or submission, cementing herself as one of the most dominant MMA fighters in history.
However, her dominance came to an end in November 2015 when she was knocked out by Holly Holm in one of the biggest upsets in MMA history. She then took over a year off from fighting before returning to the Octagon in December 2016, but she was again knocked out, this time by Amanda Nunes.
WWE
Ronda Rousey’s first WWE match was at WrestleMania 34 in 2018. She teamed up with Kurt Angle to take on Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. The match was a huge success and Rousey looked like a natural in the ring.
However, her career has not been all victories. In 2019, she lost her WWE Women’s Championship to Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 35. And, at Survivor Series 2019, she was defeated by Becky Lynch in a Winner Take All match that also included Charlotte Flair.
Why Ronda Rousey lost
Ronda Rousey, the current WWE RAW Women’s Champion, was beaten by Becky Lynch at WWE WrestleMania 35. This was Ronda’s first ever loss in WWE, and many are wondering why she lost. Let’s take a look at some of the possible reasons.
UFC
Ronda Rousey’s UFC career came to an abrupt and stunning end Friday night when she was knocked out by Holly Holm just 59 seconds into their much-anticipated bantamweight championship bout in Melbourne, Australia.
It was a shocking upset, to be sure, but not an entirely unexpected one. In the weeks and days leading up to the fight, there were plenty of signs that Rousey was in over her head against the former boxing champion.
WWE
Ronda Rousey’s time in WWE was marked by many highs and lows. She made her debut at WrestleMania 34 in a mixed tag team match with Kurt Angle, defeating Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. She then went on to win the Raw Women’s Championship at SummerSlam, defeating Alexa Bliss.
However, her time in WWE was not all positive. She was often criticized for her in-ring performances, and she suffered a high-profile loss to Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 35. This led to her taking a break from WWE, and she has not returned since.
