Ronda Rousey draws attention in the world of MMA not only for her undeniable talent, which has already earned her an undefeated professional record and the UFC women's bantamweight belt, but also for being one of the most beautiful women to step foot in the most famous octagon on the planet. However, if it's up to the blonde, she would rather appear at the top of the list of the organization's best fighters, rather than any list of beauties made by publications specializing in celebrities.

“If I were voted sexiest woman alive, that wouldn’t make me happy. There is a sexiest woman alive every year. However, it is very rare to see a woman voted as the best pound-for-pound fighter. That would make me feel much better than if someone told me I was beautiful,” said Ronda, while appearing on the “Real Sport” program on the North American cable channel “HBO”.

Looking to climb even further in the ranking of the best active MMA fighters on the planet, in which he currently occupies fifth place, Ronda Rousey will face the Brazilian in his next challenge Beth Pitbull.
