UFC: Ronda Rousey Wants to Become WWE Divas, Boxing Champion
UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey is one of the most dominant athletes in the world today. She recently held a Media Day in her training camp at the Glendale Fighting Club in California and revealed that she wants to become a boxing, jiu-jitsu and WWE Divas champion.
"What I would love to do: I got an Olympic medal, I would want to retire from MMA as one of the greatest of all time, I would love to have the chance to be the boxing world champion, and I would love to have the chance to be a jiu-jitsu world champion. I'd love to have the chance to be the Divas world champion and just be the best of everything at one point," Rousey said via FOX Sports.
"Rowdy" will be on the cover of The Ring magazine for January 2016 to be released November with the caption, "She conquered MMA. Is boxing next?" Crave Online reports that many boxing purists are upset over the fact that a mixed martial arts fighter is on the cover of the most prestigious boxing magazine in the world.
As for the WWE Divas title, she already made her debut in the ring at WrestleMania 31 last March as she helped The Rock confront Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Rousey used a judo throw on Triple H and threatened to give McMahon an armbar.
Triple H immediately responded on Twitter after hearing Ronda's comments, saying that she is welcome to train at the WWE Performance Center. Current WWE Divas Champion Charlotte also responded via Twitter, saying that she's ready for Rousey anytime, anywhere.
Even current WWE Superstar Kane thinks that Rousey has what it takes to become a WWE Diva someday. He told TMZ Sports that Ronda will be a "badass wrestler" if she decides to be one someday.
The former Olympic medallist for Judo is a lifelong wrestling fan and would want to be part of the WWE in the future. She was supposed to be part of next year's WrestleMania 32 in Dallas, but she will be filming "Mile 22" with Mark Wahlberg and Iko Uwais in Jakarta, Indonesia in March 2016, per MMA Mania.
Rousey will be facing former boxing champion Holly Holm at UFC 193 in Melbourne, Australia on Nov. 15 at the Etihad Stadium.
