At just 21 years old, Ronda Rousey reached what many athletes consider the sporting pinnacle and won an Olympic medal in judo, at the Beijing Games in 2008. After leaving the kimono, the blonde migrated to MMA, becoming UFC champion and the biggest star in the sport. But anyone who thinks she is already satisfied is mistaken. In an interview, Ronda revealed that she dreams of at least three other titles for her gallery.

“I want to be remembered as one of the best fighters in any sport. What I would love to do…I already have an Olympic medal… I would then like to retire from MMA as one of the best of all time and have the chance to be a world boxing champion. I would also like to have the chance to be world jiu-jitsu champion and to be WWE champion (main event of pro wrestling, or telecatch, from United States). I would love to be the best at everything one day,” said Ronda, during a press event at her gym this Tuesday (27).
To achieve her goals, however, the champion will have to find time in her already busy schedule, as she is one of the most active champions on the UFC roster, is involved in daily commitments with the press and TV shows, and has also invested in her acting career – including participating in successful franchises, such as “The Fast and the Furious” and “The Expendables”.
With a professional record of 12 wins and no losses in professional MMA, Ronda Rousey returns to the Octagon on November 14th. On the date, the women's bantamweight champion puts her belt on the line against the also undefeated challenger Holly holm in the main fight of UFC 193. The event will be held in a football stadium with a capacity for more than 70 thousand fans, in Melbourne, Australia.
