LAS VEGAS – Ronda Rousey ’s current life is that of a superstar athlete and media celebrity, with talk show appearances, red carpet events and a bank balance fueled by her mixed martial arts paychecks and growing number of movie credits. Even when she is not fighting her presence is felt. The outcome of the women’s bantamweight clash between Holly Holm and Miesha Tate at UFC 196 this Saturday has Rousey-related repercussions written all over it – both of this weekend’s protagonists want a shot at the UFC’s biggest female drawcard. Yet it is easy to forget that for all her popularity and fame, the UFC star was living in squalor just a few years ago. Back in 2011, Rousey’s home was a ramshackle property in Venice Beach, Calif., that was overgrown and consigned to be demolished as soon as the fighter and her roommates moved out.
