Ronda Rousey got more strikes in on this guy than in her last two bouts combined…
Despite her fight career seemingly having ended on a sour note late last year, Ronda Rousey is still a gigantic star. As such, she gets to do a lot of cool stuff like being paid to play XBox games.
Rousey has been working with Microsoft to promote the XBox One X as well as the Assassins Creed: Origins video game recently. She appeared at a promotional event for the game earlier this month. A longtime fan of gaming, Rousey answered questions about her favorite video games and other topics at the event.
Here is what Ronda said when asked what qualities would make for a great assassin in Assassins Creed:
“They would have no attachments or feelings towards anyone. I could never be a good one because I have too many people I care about.”

Ronda Rousey Loves Video Games
Rousey also mentioned she once spent $1300 on World of Warcraft cards. It’s unclear if she considered giving some of that money to her longtime trainer, Edmond Tarverdyan, who filed for bankruptcy in 2015. Probably not.
Ronda had a very interesting response to the question from a young fan asking for advice on how to do something special, such as qualifying for the Olympics. Her response says a lot about her experiences as both an Olympic athlete and a UFC champion.
“You have to be willing to get your heart broken, because you have to care that much.”
Ronda Rousey to WWE
In terms of what comes next for Ronda Rousey, many have said she is going to be a WWE wrestler. It is currently believed she is training at the WWE Performance Center with the goal of moving her career into the fictionalized version of combat sports.
Rousey’s popularity was something WWE noticed long before she appeared at WrestleMania 31. The pro-wrestling promotion has been hoping to build their women’s divisions to parity with their men’s in the same way it has happened in MMA. So far, the company has lacked the one huge star to help them get to that level, however. Considering Rousey was the giant star who was able to do it in MMA, WWE is hoping she can do the same for their industry.

Ronda will have to get used to low-blows, chair-shots, and even fending off multiple attackers in her new line of work, so she perhaps took this bit on Conan as practice.
Unfortunately, it seems the likelihood of Ronda ever fighting MMA again is getting smaller and smaller as the days go on. Few people think Ronda will ever step foot in the cage again. Not surprisingly, one of those few people is Ronda’s coach, Edmond Tarverdyan. Here is what Coach Edmond recently had to say regarding Ronda possibly fighting Cyborg in the future:
“That’s the one,” Tarverdyan said. “I want that fight. When I trained Ronda, I know Ronda could beat Cyborg. I know that. Cyborg is too slow.”
