But the weirdest element has to be the fact that Rousey is set to play herself in an account of her biggest fights to date, the loss of her father at a young age and what it takes to be the best in the world. Rousey’s next title defense is expected to be against Tate, whom she has submitted twice already.

“I think [140 pounds] would be flawless”.
“So I turned around to her after I knocked her out and I said “Don’t cry”. I thought that was really weird”. “I don’t think her insecurity has gone away”. “Maybe, go up five pounds”, Justino said.
“I don’t like to talk about exactly how much money I make, but I’m extremely comfortable and happy”, the Rousey said. Rousey overwhelmed Correia from the opening bell, instantly taking charge at the centre of the Octagon and forcing the Brazilian to backpedal as she unloaded a barrage of strikes.
A potential fight has been brewing for years.
Right on! But she wasn’t always so comfortable with her weight. The scuttlebutt is Rousey will eventually needs to fight Cris “Cyborg” Justino.
Ronda Rousey wins the Strikeforce women’s bantamweight title in March 2012. Cyborg-Invicta FC Women’s Featherweight titleholder-is 14-1 with a no contest, although she hasn’t lost since 2005.
The 10 pounds difference in weight has led to a standoff between the two fighters in the past. “They may bet her down again to 8/1 or even lower with the typical gambler “value” argument, but there’s no value in a losing wager”.
“Good fight for Honda”.
In a bout Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, she won by knockout 34 seconds into the first round. “I fight in the UFC, in the 135-pound division”.

“People take steroids because they’re insecure”, Rousey added. She hasn’t failed a drug test since. A million dollars at most per fight? This would be the most popular pay-per-view event in sports history. When asked if she would ever fight boxer Floyd Mayweather, her response was “unless we ended up dating”, an apparent reference to domestic violence allegations against him. It may not be the “sugar, spice, and everything nice” way to do things, but that’s what makes her exactly the kind of role model we need. “My Fight/Your Fight” will be adapted from Rousey’s recent autobiography.
