Watch Ronda Rousey Train MMA As Pikachu

MMA

Pokemon Go has taken the world by storm, and former UFC Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey is no exception-- although retroactively.

With the explosion of the mobile game Pokemon Go over the last two weeks, a video resurfaced of Rousey training in the gym in a PIkachu suit. Many mistook the video as new, but it was released in 2015, well before she reduced her public visibility following the Holly Holm loss last November.

The video shows a determined Rousey punching a combo dummy, heavy bags, using Olympic rings and more, albeit in a very ginger way, before unleashing a powerful kick and unmasking. An embarrassed Rousey catches awkward looks freom other gym goers and scampers out of the room. 

Rousey is an avid gamer, and actually used to moderate a Pokemon forum well over a decade ago under the name "Mew182." Her profile was uncovered by Bloody Elbow, You can see the full video of Rousey above.
