The annual TIME 100 issue, a comprehensive roundup of the 100 most influential people in the world today, is out, and it should come as no surprise that two-time SI Swimsuit model and UFC champion Ronda Rousey is one of 13 icons to populate the list.

Last year was a hell of a year for the former women's bantamweight champion, who defeated one opponent in just 14 seconds, made her first appearance in the annual SI Swimsuit issue, and charmed the world with her DNB campaign. What's a DNB? That's a "do nothing bitch," the kind which Ronda prides herself on NOT being.

So when we heard that comedy queen Tina Fey was writing the piece on Ronda for this year's TIME 100 list, we knew that the fellow non-DNB would likely show her appreciation for the athlete who grew up learning:

"You’re not training to be the best in the world. You’re training to be the best in the world on your worst day.”

The former SNL star goes on to suggest that Ronda's way of thinking about body image could and should spawn a movement to encourage women around the world.

• Ronda Rousey responds to being photoshopped: "I am extremely proud of every inch of my body."

"Imagine if we could teach our daughters to value their bodies for what they can do, not for how others think they look," she questions. "Could Ronda be the one to finally help us understand that as females, we define the word feminine and that it doesn’t define us? If we don’t listen, can she dislocate our arms at the elbow?"

You can bet the moment there's a petition to get Ronda's face added to Mount Rushmore, we'll be adding our name—right next to yours, Tina Fey.
