In September, Ronda gave birth to La’akea Makalapuaokalanipõ Browne, the fruit of her relationship with Travis Browne, and with that, naturally, she stepped away from combat sports. However, the will to compete has not left the American. Back in WWE, ‘Rowdy’ participated in the ‘Royal Rumble’, shared the ring with 29 other female wrestlers, and emerged victorious, eliminating four athletes. After the positive result, the former UFC champion used her social networks to celebrate the achievement and revealed that the birth of her first daughter and her mother’s efforts in the past have pushed her to continue performing at a high level.
“I had a baby four months ago. From the day I found out I was pregnant and calculated my return date, I knew I wanted to return to WWE at ‘Royal Rumble’ 2022. Two weeks, even two months after giving birth, that goal seemed crazier than ever. But I missed it so much. I wanted so badly to set the same example for Pō that my mother set for me and my sisters. She never stopped following her dreams while she had us. Now it’s my turn,” the MMA legend wrote on her official ‘Instagram’ account.
Mainly responsible for the popularization of women’s MMA, Ronda Rousey made her mark in the UFC as the welterweight champion from 2012 to 2015. The American ended her career in the sport in 2016 after being knocked out by Amanda Nunes. Since then, the former judoka has appeared in films and performed in the WWE.
