With her recent win over Miesha Tate, Ronda Rousey has become the heir-apparent to Gina Carano as the face of WMMA.
Whereas Carano built her image on striking prowess and good looks, Rousey is a deadly combination of bloodlust and beauty, wielding a vicious submission game and a knockout smile equally well.
Rousey’s ascent to queen of MMA was a bloodless coup, the throne vacated by Carano in favor of a place on the big screen.
While the departure of Carano was a blow to the sport, the real danger lies in her decision starting a trend. What if Rousey decides to follow in Carano’s footsteps? Where would WMMA be then? The picture is pretty bleak.
But, we are not here to dwell on the negative. We are here to look on the bright side. As is the case with the loss of Carano, WMMA’s loss of Rousey would be Hollywood’s gain, and there are a number of roles out there suited perfectly for the former Olympian.
The following 20 potential roles are just the tip of the iceberg for Rousey, who could star in an endless number of cinematic masterpieces over the next decade alone.
Enjoy.
