This may very well be one of the most important reasons why Ronda Rousey had such a tremendous amount of success in the grappling department of MMA over the course of her career. Here's the thing: Rousey doesn't really worry too much about losing top position in a grappling exchange.

In fact, Rousey was quite comfortable in the bottom position even against the very best of Women's MMA grapplers such as Miesha Tate. The Rowdy One would often trick her foes into a false sense of security, by giving up top position and dragging them deeper into her game – the world of grappling.

From there onward, Rousey would slowly, but steadily go for one arm, and then suddenly switch towards the other arm – resultantly confusing the opponent as to which arm she plans on attacking. In the end, Rousey would gradually sweep her opponent, or secure the armbar from bottom position, for the submission victory.
