Ronda Rousey’s Success Secret Is Sadism – Coach
To say reigning Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is dominant is an understatement. As displayed by how quickly she disposed of her last two opponents in Sara McMann (1:06, TWO via knee to the body) and Alexis Davis (0:16, TKO via punches), she is quickly establishing that she will continue her undefeated streak.
Legendary judo coach Gene Lebell knows a thing or two on what makes fighters special and he has an eye out for the 27-year-old Olympic medalist. Lebell, who is a judo medalist himself, saw up close and personal how Rowdy beat up men during routine practices and pinpoints that the success of the current queen of the UFc is her "sadistic nature."
"When she comes down to our place, which is in North Hollywood California, she does damn good with the men," LeBell said during a recent interview with Submission Radio. "And when you fight her you don't have to be nice, I mean if you're a man. She'll break you up if she feels like it. She's got a good attitude. And when I say a good attitude, she's sadistic. And that I like."
The arm bar submission wins and recently Rousey's standups wins are the main proof that she really has a dark side to her. After all, she also aspires of becoming a top heel in the World Wrestling Entertainment if she is given the opportunity. For now, the mixed martial arts fighter will be content on continuing her undefeated streak in the Octagon (10-0, 2 KO, 8 Submissions).
In the meantime, Rousey is currently preparing for her 11th title defence in the upcoming UFC 184 where she will be pitted against top contender Cat Zingano. The star of the "Expendables 3 " and the upcoming "Fast and the Furious 7" will be performing in front of her hometown crowd in Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Apart from all of these, the judo expert is also using her spare time to write a memoir with her sister entitles "My Fight/Your Fight" and modeling for brands such as David Briton Jeans and Reebok.
