It wasn't really that surprising to see Ronda Rousey adapt to life in WWE so quickly in the wake of her MMA career coming to a close.

Much like fellow former UFC star Brock Lesnar, Rousey was a no-nonsense badass who made headlines pretty much any time she opened her mouth...both positive and negative.

One example of this ability to stir up a fuss came before she signed with the UFC. In July 2012, Rousey infamously took aim at socialite Kim Kardashian, claiming that she'd 'beat the cr*p' out of her. Rousey stated that she disliked 'any girl who is famous and idolised because she made a sex video with some guy.'

Even as recently as this month, Rousey was heard calling out 'ungrateful' WWE fans in a recent Wild Ride! podcast appearance. She said, 'What am I doing it for if I’m not being able to spend my time and energy on my family, but instead spending my time and my energy on a bunch of f*cking ungrateful fans that don’t even appreciate me?'

That pretty much sums up the outspoken nature of 'The Baddest Woman on the Planet' and it was this lack of filter which helped cement her as one of the UFC's biggest personalities and draws during her time with the company.
