When Rousey realized she is getting bested more times than she’s comfortable with, she had her eyes set on a new challenge — acting. The super fighter has dabbled in acting before and even starred in the 2014 film “The Expendables 3”.
Rousey focused on acting and started landing more roles, including an appearance in the “Fast and the Furious” franchise. She even had a chance to bust out her old combat moves in the memorable fight scene she had with Michelle Rodriguez in “Furious 7”.
Facing Holm
Rousey has made a name for herself as a fearsome fighter who takes about a minute or less to show her opponents who the real boss is.
Then, in 2015, she went into the ring with Holly Holm. Holm was pretty confident for someone who was about to face the seemingly unbeatable Rousey. The UFC community was shaken to its core when Holm won the fight. Rousey was shaken even harder.
Losing Her Mojo
After her disappointing battle against Holm, Rousey was deeply disappointed in herself. She spent the following year focusing on training and didn't compete at all.
When she was finally back in the ring, she was scheduled to fight against Amanda Nunes, who was the reigning champ. There was a lot at stake for Rousey. Surprisingly, the 48-second-long fight ended in Nunes retaining her title. Fans were shocked, and Rousey started thinking she might be losing her touch.
Violence Is Never the Answer
Rousey's love life wasn't an instant success like her professional life. In her autobiography, "My Fight, Your Fight", Rousey confesses to having had a toxic relationship with an ex-boyfriend.
According to her, he took a nude picture of her without her knowing or agreeing to it, which eventually led to her using violence against him — and we all know by now that she can throw a mean punch. Thankfully, the two are not together anymore.
Finding Love
Rousey eventually met her one true love. The man, Travis Browne, is a UFC fighter and the two started seeing each other when Browne and his ex-wife were still married (although separated).
His previous marriage ended due to domestic violence accusations, but Rousey believes him to be innocent. “I know that he didn’t do anything," she said at an ESPN interview, and the two have been together since.
