UFC’s top female fighter headed to the big screen
However, on Sat 1 August Rousey made headlines when she spectacularly retained her title as UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion, knocking out challenger Bethe Correia in a brutal 34 seconds. Thirty-four seconds! That’s faster than you could even open a bottle of champagne to cheers her.
Cyborg told Bruce Buffer and TJ DeSantis on the “It’s Time Podcast” that she will do her best to make her battle with the 135-pound champ happens.
In the end, “Cyborg” says that a fight with Rousey isn’t just for her benefit, it’s the matchup that all the fans want to see and deserve to see. Half a minute later, it was all over.
Justino, however, responded to Ronda Rousey’s statement by saying being a champion is “not being afraid” and accepting pains and challenges.
“If she [Rousey] still has the belt next year, I will meet her again”.
Rousey said she was fighting in memory of Hall of Fame wrestler Roddy Piper, whose death was confirmed on Friday.
In the meantime, Rousey’s been enjoying some down time – and some much-deserved snacking – with her family in Brazil. The first eight wins of her career came via the armbar and she holds the record for most armbar submissions in UFC/StrikeForce history.
Rousey will be the star of the movie adaptation of “My Fight/Your Fight” which the MMA star released in the early part of 2015, reports Variety. This is more of your classic striker versus grappler matchup, despite Rousey’s improvements on the feet. An undefeated in mixed martial arts who have won eleven of her twelve fights in the first round.
The company’s decision to cast Rousey is a departure from previous commercials wherein scantily clad celebrities were featured on the ad, People said. She claimed that Piper was one of her inspirations and that her match dedicated to him who died the day before. “And she brings in a lot of women”. Miesha Tate thinks Ronda Rousey will go down, and she’ll be the one to take down the champion.
“I never thought that being an action movie star was in the cards for me”.
