4. Ronda Rousey

Ronda Rousey is one of the most successful mixed martial artists of all time, and a pioneer of the UFC’s women’s division.  She actually goes beyond being just a pioneer; she is the genesis of modern day women’s mixed martial arts.

She also appears to have put on a bit of weight.  Rousey is off filming movies at the moment, and no doubt not in the kind of physical condition she would be if she was training for a fight.  When the photo above surfaced earlier this year it was evidence that Rousey has fallen hard since her loss to Holm in Australia.

Rousey has said that her weight fluctuates frequently, and that she used to have body image issues growing up.  There’s no doubting that Rousey, with her background in judo before MMA, has plenty of experience taking off weight, the issue is that she’s probably put on that weight because she isn’t training much, if at all.

The photo naturally fuelled speculation that Rousey isn’t going to fight again.
