UFC's Women Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey, 28, was recently on Mike & Mike in the Morning" to share her experience having 12 fights during her MMA career.
Rousey said that her mother told her when she was a kid doing judo that the most common time to catch someone is the first second of the match. She said when she would always try a throw right after the bell was a little kid, so she had many matches that were in the first 10 or 20 seconds because that is when the person is most unprepared.
According to Rousey, it has been drilled into her brain "to not have that feeling-out period" and "to be good at what other people are bad at" since she was a little kid.
"It also makes them very hard to prepare for because people don't act like themselves when they're fighting me," Rousey explained. "They're just planning like what hasn't been tried yet, so they're going to come out and they're going to try whatever hasn't been tried on me before."
Before a fight, Rousey said she has to consider what her opponent is going to come at her with and how the opponent is going to change when in that high-pressure situation.
When she fights, the UFC's Women Bantamweight Champion said she is always in a very dangerous situation as she has no idea what her opponent is going to do. While she has a general idea, she said there have been times where she played a fight in her mind several times and it still did not go that way.
Aside from being a mixed martial artist and a judoka, Rousey is also an actress. After starring in "The Expendables 3," "Furious 7" and "Entourage," she is set to appear in "Road House" and "Mile 22."
