Long before teaming up with Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville was a mixed martial artist. In those days, she was known by her nickname, 'The Jersey Devil'.

Though she never went pro, the 5'7" SmackDown superstar had a respectable 2-1 amateur MMA record. The 26-year-old began training at the age of 15 and is well versed in Judo, Muay Thai, and Jiu-Jitsu. Deville has also had the benefit of training at American Top Team (ATT) with some of the best world's best fighters.

While she doesn't have an extensive MMA résumé, Deville has practiced several martial arts disciplines, and at 26, is in (or entering) her physical prime.

The fighting background commentators often refer to is indeed legit and "squaring up" with Sonya Deville could certainly prove to be hazardous to one's health.
