An Olympic Bronze Medalist in Judo, Rousey finished her first 11 opponents inside of the opening round, nine by her signature armbar submission. To this day, Rousey holds the record for fastest submission in a UFC title fight at 14 seconds when she tapped out Cat Zingano in 2015.<\/p>\n
Of course, Rousey wasn\u2019t able to stay on top as she lost her title to massive underdog Holly Holm<\/a> via head kick KO later that year.<\/p>\n \u2018Rowdy\u2019 returned a year later against the greatest female fighter of all time Amanda Nunes<\/a>, where she was brutally TKO\u2019ed on the feet in 48 seconds. That was Rousey\u2019s final fight.<\/p>\n Almost a decade removed from her retirement, Rousey\u2019s controversial head coach speaks out on where it went wrong.<\/p>\n Edmond Tarverdyan was a longtime coach of Rousey\u2019s. Tarverdyan received much criticism for Rousey\u2019s final performance against Nunes, which saw him yell \u2018head movement\u2019 at his fighter repeatedly as she took massive shots in the stand-up.<\/p>\n When asked about Rousey\u2019s careers outside of fighting, Tarverdyan said he liked her going to the WWE<\/a> with her teammates Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke, and Marina Shafir\u2014AKA \u2018The Four Horsewomen\u2019.<\/p>\n Coach Tarverdyan didn\u2019t feel the same way about Rousey taking acting roles in movies during the peak of her UFC run.<\/p>\n \u201cThe movies were bugging me more,\u201d Tarverdyan said of Rousey on the Jaxxon Podcast.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause I was telling her, like, don\u2019t carry two watermelons\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat\u2019s your problem with watermelons?\u201d \u2018Rampage\u2019 Jackson responded.<\/p>\n \u201cNo, I\u2019m saying don\u2019t carry both of them,\u201d Tarverdyan explained the analogy.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of them is gonna fall and break,\u201d said Tarverdyan.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s a good point. Watermelons are heavy,\u201d Jackson said.<\/p>\n What films did Ronda Rousey star in?<\/p>\n Rousey had a relatively short-lived career as an actress.<\/p>\n In 2014, Rousey starred as \u2018Luna\u2019 in \u2018The Expendables 3\u2019 alongside a star-studded cast including Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Antonio Banderas, Jet Li, Wesley Snipes, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, and more notable names.<\/p>\n Former two-division UFC champion Randy Couture<\/a> was also in the film.<\/p>\n Rousey was a part of the Fast and The Furious franchise in \u2018Furious 7\u2019 (2015) as \u2018Kara\u2019.<\/p>\n Rousey is also credited for \u2018Mile 22\u2019 and \u2018Entourage\u2019.<\/p>\n![\"Ronda](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-482683790-1024x693.jpg\")
