Ronda Rousey became the first woman to be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame last night in Las Vegas. She was inducted into the Modern-Era Wing of the Hall.
Rousey was first female fighter signed to UFC and the group's first women's champion, holding the title from 2012 to 2015. She defended it six times.
Below is Rousey’s induction speech and her Instagram posts:
Rousey earned a bronze medal in judo at the 2008 Summer Olympics, becoming the first American woman to win a medal in the sport. She then made the transition to mixed martial arts.
She has not returned to competitive MMA since losses to Holly Holm in 2015 and Amanda Nunes and 2016. In January, Rousey signed with the WWE.
