NASCAR driver Danica Patrick and former UFC fighter Ronda Rousey are two women who paved the way for many other women through their work in their respective sports.
Patrick has been a trailblazer in Motorsports, inspiring women across the world on and off the track. She is one of the most successful women in the world of American open-wheel stock car racing, having made 191 starts in the NASCAR Cup Series and 61 starts in the Xfinity Series.
Former MMA fighter and professional wrestler Ronda Rousey will forever be remembered as a trailblazer in mixed martial arts.
Following her pro MMA career, which saw her become a pioneer for women in the sport, former UFC Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey transitioned into the world of pro wrestling with a ton of buzz back in 2018.
She became a three-time world champion and exited WWE in 2023.
Danica Patrick and Ronda Rousey are now coming together after the former UFC champ appeared on Patrick’s podcast, as the duo discussed a bevy of topics that included sex appeal and nicknames they were given.
Rousey was the first to admit that she “was really self-conscious about being muscular and growing up.”
Patrick stated, “You were called ‘Miss Man, right?”
Rousey agreed.
Danica Patrick then jumped in and stated, “Do you want to know what my nickname was when I was young?”
“Manica.”
Rousey then spoke on sex appeal in the WWE.
“The story of Ronda Rousey is a very interesting one! From a traumatic birth to now being a creative writer and all of the judo and UFC in-between! We related to each other so many times as we talked about love, sport, fame, sexuality, religion, and what makes someone truly great,” she wrote.
