In case you missed it over the weekend, female MMA champion Ronda Rousey made headlines when she defended her title in a fight that lasted just over 30 seconds.

Her athletic prowess is something that has fascinated people around the world and with good reason, last year she ended a fight in 16 seconds, and she’s been to the Olympics as a 17-year old.

Impressive. Not one to let an opportunity pass her by, she’s also been developing other skills.

Her screen credits include Furious 7, The Expendables 3 and Entourage. Next year she’ll pair up with Mark Wahlberg for Mile 22.

According to The Hollywood Reporter the star has now been cast to play a very important role; herself.

The untitled biopic about her rise to MMA stardom is based on her autobiography My Fight/Your Fight. If that is the case, Ronda will be tasked with proving her dramatic acting skills as she has quite a life story.

 

Great news – #MyFightYourFight is gunna be a movie! Can't wait to work with Paramount, the talented Mark Bomback and Mary Parent! When it's time to make this, I promise to make it special link to article in bio

She was trained by her mother, AnnMaria De Mars from a young age and became the first American to win the World Judo Championships and was the youngest competitor in the 2004 Olympic games in Athens.

Speaking with THR she said her agent insisted that she be the one to portray herself in her own story. According to Rousey he said she could become “the female Rock”.

Ronda has also been in the media lately following her epic response to body-shamers who claimed she looked ‘too masculine’.
