Ronda Rousey: Daily Routine

Her reign was short but brutal—this is how Ronda Rousey trained like a champion and lived like a fighter.

When Ronda Rousey was the reigning UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion, her last four fights lasted a total of 130 seconds.

She ran through Sara McMann and Alexis Davis like they didn’t belong in the Octagon with her; submitted Cat Zingano with an armbar in 14-seconds (the second shortest match in UFC championship history) and knocked out Bethe Correia flat in front of the Brazillian’s home crowd.

To put it into persective, those four fights combined were less than a single sparring round Rousey would have done during her training camp. It was a different era for women’s MMA then. At her peak, Rousey was an active fighter, stepping foot into the Octagon two to three times a year, compared to most UFC champions who only fight one or twice a year at the most.
