Ronda Rousey makes Forbes' '40 Under 40' list

UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey can add another accolade to her growing list of public awards as she's been named to this year's Forbes magazine's list of 40 Under 40. The designation refers to forty people under the age of 40 who standout for measurements of wealth, power, achievement, ambition and influence.

Forbes includes Rousey not merely for her financial success in 2015 and success inside the UFC's Octagon, but her growing appeal, influence and popularity outside the cage. "Her influence is broadening fast: She's hit the big screen three times, with major roles in Furious 7, The Expendables 3, and the Entourage movie, and she'll play the lead in a forthcoming remake of Road House.
