  |  @   |  

Ronda Rousey, the famous mixed martial arts fighter, is quickly making a household name of herself. The news today is she has been chosen to take the place of the late Patrick Swayze in a reboot the cult hit Road House from the late ’80s.

Ronda Rousey To Play Herself In Autobiographical Movie
  |  @   |  

One could argue that MMA fighter Ronda Rousey is one of the greatest athletes of this generation. Her fighting techniques allows her to bring down her opponents almost in an instant. In her latest match, Rousey was able to knockout Bethe Correia in 34 seconds flat. Aside from her MMA activities, Rousey is also a film star having appeared in The Expendables 3, Furious 7, and Entourage (for which she played herself). With her stardom only just taking off, it was only a matter of time before her life story would be turned into a movie. And now with Paramount purchasing the rights to her autobiography, they have just done that. But rather than go through the audition process to find someone in her likeness, reports are saying that Ronda Rousey will play as herself in the film.

More on the story below.
