Ronda Rousey has one issue with the upcoming “UFC 2” video game that features her likeness on the cover.
Her own character.
During a recent interview with MMAjunkie.com, Rousey explained that she finds it difficult to play the game – which comes out this Tuesday – as herself. Rousey lost the UFC female bantamweight title to Holly Holm last November.
“It weirds me out to see myself and play as myself,” she said. “I’ve never played as myself.”
Rousey (12-1) is a huge video game junkie, but admits that pulling off special moves on the virtual field can be more confusing than the gym.
“I don’t like being not as in control of my body as I should be,” Rousey said. “I don’t know all the buttons to like counter a double (leg takedown) with a Harai goshi. I’d do it in real life, but it’d be really hard (in a game).”
Australia’s 7 News Perth was one of many outlets that talked to Ronda Rousey as part of a EA Sports UFC 2-centric media day in Vancouver, British Columbia recently, with the video going up over the weekend. The interview itself is a pretty basic puff piece centering on how she doesn’t blame Australia (where she was knocked out for Holly Holm) for anything, how the swimsuit design that was painted on her in Sports Illustrated was from an Australian designer, and so on. Which is kind of why the interview became newsworthy: In the above clip that 7 News Perth tweeted, you can see that they had their cameras running before the interview…and caught Rousey’s public relations representative telling them that they can’t ask about fighting, or else she will walk out.
This is the bit of interaction that’s included in the story:
PR Rep: “Guy over there just asked a question, it was DONE.”
Interviewer [after an edit]: “She’s a fighter. It’s like asking me to do a basketballer and not talking about basketball.”
Obviously, this is going to lead to a lot of speculation about whether or not Rousey is done with fighting. For the time being, it appears that her acting career has not been negatively affected by the change in public perception that her brutal UFC Bantamweight Championship loss to Holm caused, and if Holm remains champion after UFC 196 this Saturday, she’s clearly a tough stylistic matchup for Rousey. She may not need fighting anymore. For now, though, we don’t really know.
EA Sports UFC 2, which features both Ronda Rousey and Conor McGregor on the cover, comes out on March 15th (two weeks from today, March 1st) and is available for pre-order now.

Today’s the day: EA Sports finally released the full roster that will be available at launch for EA Sports UFC 2, which will be released on March 15th and is available for pre-order now. The fine folks at Operation Sports put together a plain text based listing of the roster, which you can read at the end of the post. There are a handful of somewhat surprising omissions, like Albert Tumenov, Patrick Cote, Jessica Aguilar, Evan Dunham, Louis Smolka, and a welterweight version of Jorge Masvidal, but I would expect them to be included later via patch/free content update like how EA updated the first EA Sports UFC game.
Also, Benson Henderson, who just signed with Bellator, is still in the game at both lightweight and welterweight. This is a departure from the first game, which was originally supposed to have Jake Shields, but he was removed after being cut and signing with World Series of Fighting.
By the way: The trailer for the game’s new modes came out a few days ago and is embedded at the top of this post.
