10 Reasons Ronda Rousey Is The Most Lethal Unarmed Woman On Earth
6. Constantly Breaking Boundaries
It is now familiar practice to wake to news that Rousey has broken another record, or set a new bar. Some of her vast achievements in this field are so rich and important that you cannot help but be awe-struck (a major one later to be revealed later on). However the most recent accolade sees the fighter stomp out another historical injustice by becoming the first woman EVER to feature on the cover of Men's Fitness. As part of the major campaign in Australia ahead of UFC 193, Men's Fitness magazine in Oz decided to kick the habit and alter the gender on the cover - something that sadly has been met with negativity from a number of readers - but realistically, who cares if it rubs a minor group up the wrong way? What is important is that Rousey is considered more than a 'woman'; she is respected as an athlete, as a statement figure. Her influence and unstoppable nature is breaking formalities such as gender discrimination, and that can only be a great thing.
