"Critiquing the Cage" Ronda Rousey: Master of the Universe

So, by now you've all heard the name Ronda Rousey.  Get used to it, because she is arguably the best mixed martial artist in the business.  What Rousey has accomplished is nothing short of amazing.  Rousey was the Women's Strikeforce Champion and was inaugurated by the UFC as its first Women's Champion.  She has gone undefeated in both her amateur and professional careers, submitting all of her opponents by arm bar, something that is unheard of in the world of MMA.   

But what is it that makes her such an outstanding mixed martial artist?: Her mastery of judo and that infamousarm bar  submission.  Rousey's arm bar submission can be put on the same level as wrestling greats Hulk Hogan with his finishing "leg drop" or the Undertaker's signature "tombstone", moves that they used to finish each of their matches.  There are many times during a match-up when she seems as though she's been beaten or has to submit, but her drive and passion does not let her give up.  The Liz Carmouche match-up showed how Rousey was almost defeated, getting caught in a standing face crank.  She battled back and submitted Carmouche with an arm bar.  

Rousey's raw demeanor and no holds barred attitude, brings excitement to the sport.  Her grittiness and explosiveness in the cage can be compared to that of a superhero: Batman has his utility belt, Spiderman has his web, and Ronda Rousey has her Arm bar!
