Ronda Rousey, while not planning to fight again due to a history of concussions, is sharing her post-pregnancy fitness journey and revisiting martial arts, including training with past opponent Cat Zingano, to inspire others.
Ronda Rousey might not step into the octagon again, but her legacy as a UFC champion and Hall of Famer endures. She’s still got the chops that made her a standout star in MMA history. After all, legends never fade.
Recently, after welcoming her daughter, Rousey decided to open up about her post-baby journey. With her first child, she kept things under wraps—no pics, no updates. This time? She’s taking a different approach.
“Crazy to think I hid those pics,” Rousey admitted on Instagram. “I was scared people would cruelly compare my post-baby body to my fight-ready form.” But now? She realizes the harshest critic was herself.
Determined to be braver, she’s sharing her story. Her hope? To inspire anyone facing similar struggles. It’s all about breaking the silence and offering support.
Back in action, Rousey’s been hitting the gym hard. A recent video shows her working focus mitts and grappling with none other than Cat Zingano. Yep, the same Zingano she defeated at UFC 184 in just 14 seconds!
In the clip, she thanks Zingano for helping shake off the rust. “I’d forgotten how fun it could be,” she said with a grin. Despite enjoying the training sessions, Rousey is firm—her fighting days are over.
Concussions have taken their toll, leading her to retire from both MMA and pro wrestling. But hey, once a fighter, always a fighter at heart.
