Ronda Rousey is definitely not voting for Donald Trump. Remember this?
In an interview with Maxim, the UFC women’s bantamweight champion revealed that she’s instead endorsing Bernie Sanders.
“I’m voting for Bernie Sanders, because he doesn’t take any corporate money,” Rousey said. “I don’t think politicians should be allowed to take money for their campaigns from outside interests.
What happens if things don’t work out?
If he doesn’t win against Hillary, then I’ll probably vote for a third party again. To be honest, in 2012 I was against both candidates and so I just picked any third party because I thought if more people voted for third parties then they’d have to take third parties seriously.
Strong words from a super-strong woman. The senator from Vermont can sleep well at night knowing Rousey has his back.
This stands in stark contrast to boxing legend Mike Tyson, who made it very clear that he’s giving his vote to The Donald.

By the year 2020, there’s a strong chance Ronda Rousey could be ruling the world.
The UFC’s biggest superstar made history by becoming the first woman ever to grace the cover of Men’s Fitness magazine.
It’s just another milestone for Rousey, who is preparing to fight Holly Holm at UFC 193 on Nov. 14.

If you haven’t yelled “road house” and kicked over your clothes hamper in a while, consider Ronda Rousey landing her latest movie gig a call to action.
As MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani (h/t Marc Raimondi) reported, the UFC bantamweight champion will play the lead role in an upcoming reboot of the 1989 cult classic Road House.
Rousey’s agent, Brad Slater, said the fighter will be cast in a role that amounts to a female version of Dalton (originally played by the late Patrick Swayze)—a mysterious bouncer tasked with the job of kicking every resident of a small Missouri town in the face until the citizenry is pacified.
It’s not a role Rousey takes lightly, either.
The fighter reportedly reached out to Swayze’s widow, Lisa Niemi, to ask for her blessing before accepting the role. Niemi gave Rousey the green light, and now we all get to witness a feature-length film’s worth of Rousey dodging beer bottles and polar bears falling on henchmen. So that’s exciting.
There’s no timeline for the movie’s debut, and as always, her representatives have made it clear that filming will be fit in as Rousey’s fighting schedule allows.
She’s currently training for her title defense against Holly Holm at UFC 193 on November 14. Tack on the fact that she’s already slated to feature in Mark Wahlberg’s upcoming film, Mile 22, and it’s probably reasonable to assume Road House: Rowdier, Rousier (I assume this is the working title) won’t be coming out anytime soon.
But the important thing is that wheels are in motion. Things such as Road House reboots can’t be rushed. Even for an experienced fighter such as Rousey, perfecting the Dalton throat-rip requires months of training and Daniel Day-Lewis-like attention to detail. Becoming one with Swayze’s specially made combat jeans will take at least a week on its own.
Nonetheless, I’m pumped. Even if the movie is terrible, it’ll still be an excuse to yell “road house” in public, which is a fine thing indeed.

But when heavyweights Frank Mir and Andrei Arlovski met during UFC 191’s weigh-in on Friday, they stared one another down and then, oddly, decided to take a selfie.
It’s a strange practice, for sure, and one that Conor McGregor and Jose Aldo will certainly not be using anytime soon.

Ronda Rousey’s dominant fight against Bethe Correia on Aug. 1 helped catapult her to even greater popularity, and with a bevy of new fans, the UFC women’s bantamweight champion has received some fantastic illustrations imagining her as a superhero:
After a recent Reddit Ask Me Anything session in which Rousey said she’d like to play Captain Marvel in a superhero movie, some of her fans came through and provided illustrations of her as Ms. Marvel/Captain Marvel.

On Friday, Straight Outta Compton memes took over the sports world. Invicta featherweight champ Cris “Cyborg” Justino decided to use the viral sensation to jab rival Ronda Rousey, the UFC women’s bantamweight title-holder.
Here’s what Cyborg wrote alongside the meme:
Ronda if you’re busy in Dec, how about April? Then we can make sure everyone knows we are BOTH clean by doing Olympic testing leading up to the fight.
Justino and Rousey have traded words recently, and the latter ramped it up a notch after her 34-second victory at UFC 190 on August 1.
“I’m prepared to deal with anything. That’s why I’m the champ,” Rouseysaid on the broadcast after knocking out Bethe Correia. “I fight in the UFC 135-pound division. [Cyborg] can fight at 145 pumped full of steroids and she can make weight just like everybody else without them.”
In 2011, Cyborg tested positive for an anabolic steroid and was suspended from fighting for a year. She’s since stated she is clean and is extremely eager to step into the Octagon with the undefeated Rousey.
“This fight has to happen,” Cyborg said on SportsCenter last Wednesday, (h/t SB Nation). “If the UFC thinks I don’t deserve this fight, don’t do it for me. Do it for all the fans.”
Despite the 10-pound weight difference and Rousey’s concerns with Justino’s history, perhaps Cyborg’s latest jab will anger the UFC’s biggest star enough to consider to a fight.
As we saw with Correia, though, it’s not always wise to poke the bear.
Ronda Rousey is definitely not voting for Donald Trump. Remember this?
