Ronda Rousey is undefeated and has finished every fighter she’s faced and part of that is that she brings an intimidation factor into the cage. It’s something she does on purpose at times, try to intimidate her opponent, but against Zingano, Ronda Rousey won’t even try:

“Cat is different because, not only is she undefeated, but she has the kind of indomitable spirit that I haven’t seen exhibited by anyone else, at the level that she has,” Rousey admitted.

“She’s been down in fights before and every single time, she’s come back and finished the other person. And, given everything she’s been through lately, in her life outside of fighting, I really feel like she’s one of those people that’s impossible to intimidate, so I don’t even try.”

In addition to her strong mind and will, Zingano presents a balanced set of threats to Rousey, according to the champ. “She’s also the most well-rounded,” she claimed.

“I’ve never gone to the ground with a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blackbelt before. Alexis (Davis) was a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blackbelt, but I didn’t get there. I’ve never been tested that way on the ground. Her first discipline was actually wrestling, and a lot of people forget that. She’s a very strong grappler, but everyone knows her for her striking because it’s obvious that her striking is an extreme strong suit.
