Not to be overlooked in the UFC world, Ronda Rousey has arguably done more for the sport than her male counterparts, such as Conor McGregor. Rousey has taken her fame within the Octagon and used it to inspire women, championing confidence in a body-shaming world. Now, as a WWE superstar—not mention her acting and array of magazine covers—she has continued to grow as a brand, closing in on 30 million followers both in the mixed martial arts world and in pop culture.
