UFC 193 Embedded: Ronda Rousey vs
Ronda Rousey (12-0) damn near became the spitting image of what a ideal mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter is when she starched would-be contender Bethe Correia at the UFC 190 pay-per-view (PPV) last August.
An extended promo for a special edition of UFC 193 Embedded focusing on the lives of Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm which is set to air on FOX tomorrow is absolutely stacked with high-profile celebrities.
The pre-fight web series is also loaded with cameos from Hollywood stars Mark Wahlberg, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Arnold Schwarzenegger, WWE’s Stephanie McMahon, and singer Demi Lovato.
Rousey put all notions that her striking game wasn’t on-par with her profound Judo technique to bed when she floored the Brazilian on her home turf.
“She’s the Michael Jordan of her sport”, Wahlberg said. “She’s basically transcended the sport”. The Etihad Stadium will be the monster venue for the blockbuster event on November 14, and will play host to another women’s title fight in the co-main event.
Women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey takes on undefeated boxing champion Holly Holm this Sunday, while women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk prepares to take on Valerie Letourneau. In her first two UFC fights against Raquel Pennington and Marion Reneau, “The Preacher’s Daughter” grinded out wins via decision, throwing a lot of punches and avoiding all takedowns.
