MMA's female superstar, Ronda Rousey

This past weekend Mixed Martial Arts fans tuned in to see fighter, actress  and LA native Ronda Rousey take on Cat Zingano 

For those unfamiliar with Rousey ... She's a former Olympic judo fighter that is unbeaten in her 11 MMA fights. 

Ronda Rousey stopped Cat Zingano with an acrobatic armbar 14 seconds into the first round, dramatically defending her bantamweight title at UFC 184.

We'll find out more about her with Ben Fowlkes, MMA columnist for the USA Today.
