Safari Names Llama After Ronda Rousey, Means It In a Nice Way

Rousey is ensconced as the UFC women’s bantamweight (135-pound) champion and is easily the promotion’s top draw.

Cris “Cyborg” Justino has made some adjustments to her plan of making the drop to bantamweight, as Invicta FC’s featherweight champ will reportedly fight at 140 next, rather than 135. That’s well below several fighters on the roster, including welterweight Jake Ellenberger, who pocketed $136,000 for his win at the same event.

Rousey opened up about her pre-fame check list, which included winning the UFC championship, becoming BFFs with Serena Williams, and appearing on DeGeneres’ show.

In Brazil, Ronda Rousey is so popular that they even name animals after her.

But on Monday’s Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Furious 7 star admitted that she also has a sensitive side!

Strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk will ride shotgun with Rousey at UFC 193, defending her title against Canadian Valerie Letourneau as part of the first all-female marquee in UFC history.

“I didn’t think it was going to come this soon, but as soon as it did I was excited”, Holm said, reports MMA Mania.

“Cyborg” has repeatedly called for a catch-weight bout with Rousey, but the latter and the UFC aren’t interested.

Rousey’s two fights this calendar year lasted a total of 48 seconds, and she’s only been pushed beyond the first round just once during her 12 career fights. It will be Justino’s lowest weight, drawing her close to the long-awaited fight against “the most risky woman in the planet”.
