10 Reasons Why Ronda Rousey Is Better Than Sasha Banks
Over the course of her storied professional wrestling career, Sasha Banks has held the NXT Women's Title as well as the WWE RAW Women's Championship (4 times). "The Legit Boss" has performed for the WWE since 2012 -- cutting her teeth on the indies (2010-12), and NXT from 2012 to 2015.

Rousey, alongside Liz Carmouche, is one half of the first pair of women to have competed in the UFC. Additionally, despite coming from a grappling background, Rousey is well-known for her deadly offensive striking -- having knocked out Olympian and UFC fighter Sara McMann with a knee, and absolutely annihilating Bethe Correia in one of the most brutal knockouts in MMA history...
