Is this 8-year-old girl the next Ronda Rousey?

Is this girl the next Ronda Rousey?

Evnika Saadvakass may only be 8 years old but she already has some really impressive skills that Rousey would admire.

The Russian girl is being trained by her father to be a boxing prodigy, and she gained Internet fame from a clip of her throwing 100 punches in a minute — at age 5. That's better than these two grown men combined.

Perhaps Evnika will take the same path as Rousey's next opponent, Holly Holm, who conquered boxing before transitioning to MMA. But it sounds like her father hopes she stays true to her roots.

"I hope that Evnika will never tire of the sport; I hope she doesn't stop loving it as she loves it now," her father, Rustram, told the Daily Mail. "With her energy and with what she is doing, Evnika has the ability to burn, to be a star."

She's not the only one. While we're on the subject of child prodigies, we might've found the next Serena Williams, too.
