10 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About Roderick Strong
7. He’s Engaged To A Horsewoman
Ronda Rousey and three of her close, badass friends and training partners are known as The Four Horsewomen of MMA. They’re all big wrestling fans, and can all beat the hell out of just about anyone, so their connection to the legendary stable fits them pretty well.
Among the four is Marina Shafir (with the great nickname “The Supernova from Moldova”) who caught the eye of Roderick Strong after she met him at a PWG show, which the Horsewomen would often attend. The two soon began dating, and in December of 2015 they got engaged.
Shafir is a featherweight, trained in Judo and is 5-0 in her amateur career and 1-2 as a professional. A trivia note for her is that in all eight of her fights, not a single one of them went into the second round.
