Usually attracting attention wherever he goes, Ronda Rousey was more discreet when she visited the Acadêmicos da Rocinha samba school, in Rio de Janeiro, during her recent visit to Brazil. The UFC champion explained her shyness and stated that she doesn't feel comfortable dancing in public – in fact, she just likes to dance in a very unusual way.
“I’ve never danced samba, but, of course, I’ve heard it. To be honest, I only dance when I'm naked in my room in the morning, and no one sees me”, joked the champion, in a press conference reproduced on the “Tatame” magazine website. “For me, dancing publicly is an even more difficult experience than fighting,” she continued.
Ronda is expected to make her next belt defense – her fifth – on January 3rd, against Zingano cat. However, the fight has not yet been made official by the UFC, as the challenger still needs to recover from injury.
