Former UFC champion Ronda Rousey has inked a three-movie deal with Lifetime network, according to a report by Deadline.
Rousey, who has appeared in a handful of films, joins the likes of tennis icon Serena Williams and music legend Janet Jackson for a series of upcoming movies as the network moves away from melodramas.
The movies with Rousey will bring stories that reflect her passions about empowerment to the screen, according to the network. The 29-year-old has appeared in “The Expendables 3,” “Furious 7” and the “Entourage” film, and is still tied to the lead role in the “Road House” remake. She has also hosted “Saturday Night Live.”
As for her fighting career, Rousey is expected to return to action in the final quarter of the year, likely against the current UFC female bantamweight champion at that time.

UFC President Dana White appeared on ESPN’s “Beadle and Shelburne Show” on Sunday evening and dropped a bombshell regarding the highly-anticipated Octagon return of Ronda Rousey.
According to White, the former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion who has been on the sidelines since losing the title to Holly Holm at UFC 193 last November in Australia, is “definitely part of the discussion” to fight on the UFC’s debut event at Madison Square Garden in New York City on November 12th.
Not only did he drop that bombshell, he also announced that Rousey will likely be challenging for the title in her first fight back.
“[Rousey] is definitely part of the discussion [to fight on Nov. 12 in New York] and she will fight whoever has that belt,” White said. “I think Miesha, she’s fighting at [UFC 200], she might fight again before that. She wants to fight. We’ll see what happens. Miesha has been the No. 2 baddest woman in the world for years. For her to stay active right now, makes sense.
White continued, “What’s cool about that 135-pound division is that everybody is fighting right now. The only one not fighting is Holly. Miesha, depending on how she fights Nunes — who is very, very tough — if anything crazy happens and she comes out of that fight with a quick win, 100 percent healthy, she could turn around and fight again and then fight Ronda.”
Regarding Holm, White reiterated his belief that she “went out like a gangster” against Tate at UFC 196.
“She hung in there [against Tate],” White said. “For people who know a lot about jiu-jitsu, she did everything right to defend that choke. Miesha just wasn’t letting go of that neck, man. [Holm] went out like a gangster.”
UFC 205 is scheduled for Saturday, November 12, 2016 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York.

Jessica Andrade will give strawweight a go, taking on one-time title contender Jessica Penne at UFC 199 this summer. The Los Angeles Daily News first reported the contest.
Andrade (13-5) has gone 4-3 as a bantamweight in the UFC, including three straight wins at one point. She is just 1-2, though, over her last three, with both defeats coming via submission.
Penne (12-4) is a former Invicta FC champion who advanced to the semifinals of The Ultimate Fighter before falling to eventual champion Carla Esparza. She also suffered a loss to current UFC champion Joanna Jedrzeczyk for the title.
UFC 199 includes Luke Rockhold defending his middleweight title vs. Chris Weidman and Urijah Faber challenging Dominick Cruz for the bantamweight strap.
