In an interview with the program “Entertainment Tonight”, on the North American channel “CBS”, Ronda declared that she is afraid of not doing a good role and being hated for it. “I’ve been pursuing this for a year or two. I'm obsessed with the film, I love it. I grew up watching western films. I understand why people are wary of remakes, because it's a huge classic. I'm nervous in my own way. The worst that can happen is that I suck in the movie, end up with the name Swayze and 'Silent Killer' and everyone hates me,” said the fighter.
According to preliminary information, Rousey is expected to start filming at the end of next year, when the script is completed. The fighter will return to the octagon in November this year, when she will face Holly holm at UFC 193, in Melbourne, Australia.
