Ronda, now 25, has treated each of her six professional mixed-martial-arts opponents the way she treated that Hulk Hogan doll, twisting and stretching their arms and even separating them from their sockets with her trademark armbar. Today, as she thinks back on her daughter's dismembering the Hulk, AnnMaria says, "Maybe that was a precursor." AnnMaria, the first American-man or woman-to win a world judo championship, in 1984, had used floss to sew the seams of her gi. Then AnnMaria used an old trick from her judo days: dental floss. Ronda's mother, AnnMaria, stitched the arm back on.
