UFC Superstar Ronda Rousey gets her own biopic.
The former Bantamweight champion of the UFC ladies was not only a pioneer for MMA for ladies, she was a pioneer who participated in some of the greatest fights of all time.
Ronda Rousey came from a judo background in the Olympic Games and absolutely dominated in her crossover to MMA, so that her first eleven opponents in the first round were completed with Arm-Bar entries and strikes.
Of course, nothing takes forever because the unbeaten Rousey had one of the worst autumns in the history of UFC. On top of the UFC world, Rousey lost its title to Holly Holm via main kicks in 2015 and was a year later in less than a minute in her comeback fight against Amanda Nunes.
A decade away from her title loss, Rousey has the behind the scenes of her rise and fall in her memoirs, my fight/your fight and our fight, summarized.
Now the story of Rousey will be told on Netflix.
