10 Biggest Heat Generators In UFC History

Ronda Rousey took the world by storm. She was brash, confident, and kicked ass. So where does her heat come from? It's simply from her rivalries with Miesha Tate and Holly Holm.

Starting with her rivalry with Miesha Tate, Ronda earned a ton of heat as both fighters were paired as opposing coaches on season 17 of The Ultimate Fighter. Now, the heat here was of course not all Ronda’s fault as Miesha certainly was no saint during the season. However, Ronda getting in the faces of Bryan Caraway and Dennis Hallman unprompted, and screaming things like, “f**k you bitch” towards Miesha while giving the double salute rubbed many fans the wrong way. Miesha is, after all, her biggest rival for a reason.

The biggest heat generator for Ronda was everything she did before, during, and after her fight with Holly Holm. She continually became hostile towards Holly, talked trash at every encounter, and even refused to touch gloves with Holm before the fight. Follow this up with Ronda getting absolutely dominated in the fight and the whole incident just made Ronda look really bad.

Ronda Rousey is still one of the biggest stars the sport has ever seen and certainly deserves her spot in the UFC Hall of Fame. She also had arguably the biggest rookie year in WWE and there’s an easy argument that she certainly belongs in the WWE Hall of Fame as well.
