Ronda Rousey silenced doubters with a victory over former Strikeforce women's bantamweight champion Miesha Tate. Many people (including me) felt that the former Olympian Rousey had talked her way into a title fight – that she was a one trick pony and didn't have the experience to compete with Tate. We were wrong. Rousey almost single handily promoted this fight doing multiple interviews and boosting about herself so much she would have looked like a fool if she had failed. When it was time to fight, Rousey defeated a well-respected champion while adding Tate to the list of competitors who have fallen victim to her armbar. Who would disagree that Ronda Rousey is now the face of women's MMA?
