Ronda Rousey: I Feel Like Pro Wrestling Is The Purest Form Of Fight Choreography

Ronda Rousey discusses the purity of pro wrestling’s fight choreography while discussing her overall career.

Rousey is no stranger to both competing in mixed martial arts and pro wrestling, with a MMA return set to happen this weekend where she will fight Gina Carano. However, she has also spent several years in WWE following her UFC exit in the mid 2010s.

While speaking to Whistle in a new interview, Ronda Rousey spoke about how she jumped from career to career as an Olympian, MMA fighter, action movie star and pro wrestler.

“I feel like MMA was a good segue because being purely an athlete was doing judo (at the) Olympics. You know, being an athlete that also has to entertain was MMA and having to learn how to be on camera and stuff like that, which I used to be petrified of public speaking. Then that was kind of like a good segue, and then I started acting more in like action films and stuff like that, or I could like do fight choreography and things like that, and that kind of like segued me into pro wrestling, which I feel like is the purest form of fight choreography.”

Elsewhere in another recent interview, Rousey took aim at the UFC’s Hunter Campbell. You can read more about that here.
