Ronda Rousey to Star in Film Based on Her Autobiography (EXCLUSIVE)

Following her dominating win Saturday night in Brazil, where she knocked out Bethe Correia in 34 seconds, UFC fighter Ronda Rousey is making moves for her film career, and this latest project hits close to home.

Paramount Pictures has secured the rights to Rousey’s New York Times bestselling autobiography “My Fight/Your Fight,” with Rousey playing herself.

Mark Bomback on board to adapt the book, while Mary Parent is producing along with Rousey, with Bomback serving as exec producer.

“It’s a real honor to be a part of bringing Ronda’s incredible story to the bigscreen,” Parent said.

Written by Rousey with her sister Maria Burns Ortiz, “My Fight/Your Fight” is an inspirational story celebrating the accomplishments of Rousey, who faced extraordinary challenges on her path to glory. The book was published in spring by Regan Arts.

No date has been set yet on when the project will go into production as Bomback has just begun adapting the book. Rousey is expected to fight one more time before the end of the year and will then shoot the Pete Berg-directed action pic “Mile 22″ in January.

It’s not very often that a notable individual stars in her own biopic, but Rousey is one of those rare cases of an athlete who has seamlessly transitioned from fighting in the Octagon to appearing on screen in such films as “The Expendables 3,” “Furious 7″ and most recently, “Entourage,” in which she also appeared as herself.

From appearing in films and penning New York Times bestsellers to endorsement deals with Reebok, Buffalo Jeans and DraftKings, Rousey’s brand outside the ring has continued to expand over the past few years.

Insiders say that Rousey showed interest in appearing in the film and wanted to be sure Paramount was on board as soon as the rights to the book were put on the market. Paramount execs were impressed by her ability to balance a film career while staying in top fighting shape.

Ever since breaking out in “Expendables 3,” Rousey has made it clear that she does not discuss outside business while training. With the fight behind her, she can now develop the project with Bomback in a way she feels will paint the best portrait of her life.

Besides “Mile 22,” Rousey is also attached to Warner Bros. action pic “The Athena Project.” She is repped by WME and attorney Dave Feldman.

Bomback’s recent credits include “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” and “The Wolverine.” He most recently penned “War of the Planet of the Apes,” due out in 2017. Prior to that, he wrote “Unstoppable.” He is represented by WME and Anonymous Content.

Parent’s recent credits include “Godzilla” and “Pacific Rim.”

So Ronda is a Kaiju? That sort of works....

Martial Arts: Rousey eyes global superstardom

LOS ANGELES - From Hollywood to hamburgers, Ronda Rousey's cage-fighting exploits are propelling the ferocious former Olympic judoka further towards global superstardom.

The 28-year-old martial artist from California completed the latest in a series of devastating knockouts on Saturday, demolishing Brazilian opponent Bethe Correia in just 34 seconds in Rio de Janeiro.

The quickfire defeat cemented Rousey's reputation as arguably the most exciting fighter in any combat sport - she has taken a total of just one minute, four seconds to dispatch her last three opponents.

It's the sort of record which has helped build a buzz around Rousey and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) that has been compared to the rise of Mike Tyson in heavyweight boxing during the 1980s.

"She has that killer aura, meaning anything is capable of happening," Tyson said during a recent visit to watch a Rousey workout at her base in Los Angeles.

Rousey was already a household name in the United States before her latest win. Two more significant deals announced in the aftermath of victory this week will raise her profile even further.

On Monday, Paramount Pictures confirmed they had secured the rights to Rousey's bestselling autobiography "My Fight/Your Fight," the story of the fighter's remarkable rise through the ranks.

Unusually, Rousey will play herself in the Hollywood adaptation. She has already demonstrated a flair for the big-screen, appearing in the recent action movies "The Expendables 3," "Furious 7" and the comedy film "Entourage." On Tuesday, Rousey was named by US burger chain "Carls Jr" as the face of its latest campaign, following in the footsteps of the likes of Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Heidi Klum and Kate Upton.

"Aside from a variety of other factors, (Ronda) was chosen because she is loved and respected so much by both men and women," a spokesperson from Carl's Jr said.

Compelling life story

While it's Rousey's fearless performances inside the UFC octagon that have won her fame and fortune, her back story is, in its own way, just as compelling.

After a childhood upturned by family tragedy - her father committed suicide when she was eight - she set about emulating her mother, the first American woman to win a judo world title, as a champion judoka.

Rousey took up the sport at 11 and at the age of just 17 qualified for the 2004 Athens Olympics. Four years later, she won a bronze medal in Beijing.

She was working in a bar when she saw the UFC for the first time and decided it was something she could thrive in.

UFC chief Dana White had initially said women would never take part in the sport but was ultimately persuaded by Rousey.

"She absolutely brings in a different audience," White said in a recent interview.

"She brings in an audience of people who don't normally buy every fight. And she brings in a lot of women." For now, however, the biggest challenge might be finding an opponent capable of giving Rousey a match.

Many hope to see Rousey face another Brazilian, Cris "Cyborg" Justino.

The South American, however, would have to come down in weight to face the American, usually fighting at the featherweight limit of 145 pounds rather than Rousey's bantamweight 135 pounds.

Rousey, who has ruled out a bout at a compromise weight of 140 pounds, appeared to be goading Justino into accepting a challenge, referencing the Brazilian's recent drug ban for testing positive for steroids.

"I fight in the UFC, in the 135-pound division," Rousey told ESPN following her latest win.

"(Justino) can fight at 145 pumped full of steroids or she can make the weight just like everybody else without them."

Ronda Rousey sells over 13,000 'DNB' shirts in first 24 hours for charity
5:04p ET
Posted by Damon Martin

With apologies to Floyd Mayweather, there are no longer questions surrounding the drawing power of UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.

Not only did she garner nearly a million tweets during UFC 190 last Saturday night while apparently bringing in some of the highest pay-per-view numbers for all of 2015, Rousey also manages to do great things for charity just by attaching her name to a product.

The latest instance was Rousey's “DNB” shirts fashioned after her quote from prior to the fight at UFC 190 against Bethe Correia when the former Olympian said she wasn't a "Do-nothing b***h", which she explained was someone "who just tries to be pretty and be taken care of by someone else".

Ronda has teamed up with Didi Hirsch Foundation to support Women's Body Image Issues. #DNB Link in bio

Rousey leant her image to a T-shirt sold online for $24.99, with part of the proceeds going to a charity, Didi Hirsch 501c3, "for their work in mental health services & for women with body image issues."

The goal for the campaign was to sell 1,000 shirts within two weeks.

In less than 24 hours, Rousey has already sold more than 13,000 shirts with more numbers being added every minute.

With 13 days still to go on the project, chances are Rousey will have plenty of people standing up against being a “DNB” and representing it with the new shirts.

Cool shirt. Get them here:

Ronda Rousey Gets First Shot to Be a Superhero ... But It's in a Porno
8/24/2015 12:50 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
EXCLUSIVE



Ronda Rousey is finally getting a chance to put on spandex tights and a bustier to bring a comic book badass to life -- but she won't be in the outfit too long, since the movie is a XXX film.

TMZ Sports has learned Rousey just got an offer to star in "Captain Marvel XXX: An Axel Braun Parody." The offer's short on details -- like her character's name or powers -- but it's a lucrative deal. Braun says he'll pay Ronda $5 mil for 3 sex scenes.

Here's what's odd -- he says she'll need to shoot for 2 weeks! Sounds like way more dialogue than the average porno. As we reported, Braun made a similar offer to Ben Affleck's ex-nanny.

This isn't the first time Rousey has been linked to the adult film industry ... there is already an XXX parody about her called "Ronda ArouseMe."

Axel asks for forgiveness in the offer letter, in case Ronda's offended. Wisely, he doesn't want to end up on the business end of an armbar -- which seems likely since there's no way in hell she's accepting.

Rule #34 dudebro.

I just googed this. Very funny.

Queen Ronda Rousey Is the First Woman to Cover Aussie Men’s Fitness

If the thought had crossed anyone's mind that Ronda "Never a Do-Nothing *****™" Rousey might slow down anytime soon, the UFC Bantamweight champion is here to prove that person very, very wrong.

In advance of Rousey's next big fight, which is taking place in Melbourne, the boss woman is on the cover of Men's Fitness Australia, the first woman to ever appear there. (The accompanying line — "WTF? Ronda Rousey on the cover?" leaves a little to be desired.)

Rousey posted the image to her Instagram on Sunday, captioned appropriately with the arm-flex emoji. While editions of Men's Fitness in other countries have flaunted the likes of Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra, and Stacy Keibler on their covers, there's no doubt that Rousey could take every former cover star to task — man or woman. Kapow.

The good ol' arm-flex emoji
