It seems as if history has been made, several media sources are reporting that STRIKEFORCE Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey has become the first female fighter to sign with ZUFFA's Ultimate Fighting Championship.
For now, it seems as if the best female fighter in the world will be joining the top mixed martial arts promotion in the world and automatically become the promotion's women's bantamweight champion. Once reports broke, first by media rumor mill, TMZ.com it became clear that reports of STRIKEFORCE's closure were imminent. Why else would they allow one of their top fighters to get out of their contract?
Whatever the reasoning or case may be, it has become more than evident that women's MMA is becoming to be taken seriously by some of the more important people in the sport.
As more news and reports break, there'll be more to these reports. Until then...
UPDATE: Since this was posted, Miesha Tate tweeted that she has also signed with the UFC.
