After her 12-0 win on Saturday night, UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey is set to star as herself in an upcoming film based on her autobiography.
The book, My Fight/Your Fight, which she co-wrote with sister Maria Burns Ortiz, will have the screenplay adapted by Mark Bomback (Die Hard 4.0, The Wolverine, The Dawn of The Planet of the Apes) for a film to be co-produced by Rousey and Mary Parent (Godzilla, Pacific Rim).
This won't be the first time for Rousey to act on-screen following her blockbuster participation in films Furious 7 and The Expendables 3.
Although the schedule of production hasn't been announced, Variety reports Paramount Pictures has already secured the rights for Rousey's best-seller.
Just last Saturday, Rousey has beaten Brazillian mixed martial artist Bethe Correia by knock-out in a title fight held at the challenger's country. The 28-year-old American "Beast" gave Correia the 34-second fight she deserved after numerous trash talks and low blow taunts jabbed by the "Pitbull" in the media.
Being the world's deadliest fighter, Rousey just received the Best Fighter ESPY Award in July for her record-breaking victories. The female Ultimate Fighting Champ beat other male nominees, including American boxer Floyd Mayweather.
"I wonder how Floyd feels being beat by a woman for once," Rousey said following her win, considering Mayweather's domestic violence charges.
Rousey doesn't even mind being called masculine, shrugging the critics saying, "I think it's feminist-ly bad-ass ... because there isn't a single muscle in my body that isn't for a purpose."
The UFC champ does have a real purpose of being a role model to other girls. "Whenever people talk about how cocky and arrogant I am, it blows me away, because I worked so hard to develop self-confidence," she previously told The New Yorker. "Maybe that's what I am. I'm not eloquent. I'm to the point."
