10 Greatest Entrances In UFC History

Here's an example of a fighter reaching their climax as an athlete, which brought with it a level of conviction and expectation that few in the UFC have achieved.

Ronda Rousey came into UFC 193 as the unquestionable overlord of the Women's Bantamweight division. Rousey had become the division's inaugural champion and, in six attempts, no one had been able to wrestle the gold away from The Baddest Woman on the Planet.

So, understandably, Rousey entered the Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia, exuding a belief and understanding that no one in her division was capable of knocking her off her perch.

56,000 roared with approval as the unbeatable force's theme of choice, Joan Jett's Bad Reputation, blared through the speaker-system. Rousey's stare was unbreakable, her walk was full of purpose and it made for one of the most entrancing arrivals to the Octagon in the company's history.

You forget just how intimidating Rousey's approach to the ring used to be and it's easy to see why many fighters lost their heads the moment they saw the Californian rampage down the entrance ramp.

This night would prove to be the last she would reign as a UFC Champion, but if you were to predict its outcome based on her intense entrance alone, a KO loss via high kick to the neck would not have been expected.
