Pay lanes on 110, 10 are likely to stay

MMA fighters have become a phenomenon

Calling it the future in trafc management, the Los Angeles County transit agency board voted unanimously Thursday to make permanent the miles of pay lanes already being used on the 110 and 10 freeways. By an 11-0 vote, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority called the one-year experimental ExpressLanes project a success and ordered the chief executive officer to lobby the Legislature to remove the sunset dates and grant it power to convert more car-pool lanes into pay lanes, possibly on the 405 Freeway.

The Four Horsewomen Jessamyn Duke, Marina Shafir, Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey watch a video of a wrestling skit they filmed.

It took a few weeks, but Ronda Rousey went from frustration to elation. The Ultimate Fighting Championship womens bantamweight champion, undisputed and undefeated, was undeniably beside herself after her first foray into reality television.

Along with best friend and Mixed Martial Arts training partner Marina Shafir, Rousey extended an invitation to fellow UFC fighters Shayna Baszler and Jessamyn Duke to live and train with them in Southern California. Months later, their varied paths have merged into a four-lane expressway known as The Four Horsewomen.

While Rousey has provided the opportunities, she has gained as well. There were days ... Id still be training alone and Id be driving alone so many hours a day. Itd get lonely ... Its so helpful having other people there on the same quest as you and they understand what youre going through and theyre excited about the same things. We all just really feed off each other.
