Ronda Rousey Takedown Breakdown
Ronda Rousey is the biggest superstar in the history of Women’s
MMA, and you could very easily make
the argument that she singlehandedly brought women’s MMA into the mainstream
and in turn the UFC Octagon. Since
turning professional in 2011, Ronda has put together a perfect 7 fight win
streak in which she has finished every single opponent via first round armbar. This is a truly remarkable
accomplishment.
Prior to her arrival in professional mixed martial arts,
Rousey was a highly accomplished judokan.
At the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China she won a bronze medal, and
herein lies the answer to Rousey’s incredible dominance in MMA. No one can stop her takedowns and
lightning fast transitions to the armbar. As of yet, no one
in Women’s MMA has an answer for Rousey's Judo.
In an attempt to better understand Ronda Rousey’s takedown
attacks, BJJ Scout recently released this cool breakdown video. The video gives excellent insight into how Rousey
has been able to adapt her world class Judo skills to mixed martial arts. There are some very interesting things
to be learned from this video.
