10 things you probably didn't know about Ronda Rousey

She is the Women’s Bantamweight champion. She has crossed over from combat sports to Hollywood. The biggest draw of UFC, the most dangerous unarmed woman to walk the planet and the list can go on, but you won't find enough words to describe this freak of an athlete, Ronda Rousey.Rewind yourselves a couple years back and women in MMA were almost non-existent. Credit goes to Gina Carrano for being the first women from MMA to bring some attention towards the division, but it wasn't still on a larger scale until Ronda came along. After Strikeforce was bought by UFC, president Dana White made Ronda the women's champion by default and since then she has been undefeated.Undeniably, the greatest female MMA fighter to ever step foot into the Octagon, Rousey has made an impact like no other not only in the sport, but in mainstream media too. In a male dominated sport that has existed well over 20 years, Ronda single-handedly paved the way for the women who aspire to become MMA fighters. For a brand which didn’t have a women’s section, UFC now has over 17 female fighters.That isn’t sufficient to describe Ronda’s massive contribution to this sport, but that should do enough considering these aspects are something that people will usually come across while reading about her. But how well do you know about Ronda, the story underneath the dominating, trash-talking and confident girl?Here, we take a look at 10 things you probably didn’t know or should know about her.

#1 Ronda\'s first visit to ER was because of a Raisinet

As revealed by her older sister Maria Burns Ortiz, Ronda’s first visit ever to an Emergency Room was because of a Raisinet (Chocolate-covered raisin). According to her, she, Ronda and her other sister were having fun by putting candy in their nostrils and making silly faces just like any other normal kids.

But Ronda pushed on a bit too far and as she couldn’t get it out, they had to get her medical attention. But when they pulled into the parking lot of the nearest ER, the candy dislodged and popped out. The chocolate layer had melted just enough to let the raisin slide out.

To this day, Ronda avoids Raisinets like the plague.
