UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion, Ronda Rousey, has been embracing the spotlight quite well in the last couple of years.
Aside from selling out arenas during her fights, she has starred in Hollywood blockbusters, guested on TV shows, and graced magazine covers.
Just a short time ago, Rousey added to her long list of breakthroughs by being the first woman to be featured on the cover of Men's Fitness magazine in Australia - a way to promote her headlining fight at Melbourne's Etihad Stadium for UFC 193.
E! News, recently, spoke to the champion about her upcoming fight, dating rumors, as well as her newfound friendship with another superstar athlete.
"I'm the champion for a reason," the 28-year-old proudly claimed. "I'm the champion because I'm the best in every area. If I haven't gotten the chance to prove it so much with my other opponents, then Holly is a blessing because I'll be able to display what I'm capable of."
She continued: "On paper, this actually looks like a terrible fight for me. But I'm going to show everybody why what you see on paper isn't what you're going to see in person. She's going to have a lot of changed stats the day I beat her."
As with any fighter, the Olympic bronze medalist in judo is always concerned about keeping her title and her undefeated record.
"I worry about it so much," she said. "That's why I work so much harder than they do. And why I go to sleep every night worry about every single possible scenario and I'm so much more prepared than them."
Rousey added: "The dog with the bone is always in danger, so of course I'm always the most worried."
With her constant exposure to the spotlight, a lot of fans will continuously have a fascination about her personal life - more particularly with her love life.
"I try to keep my personal life private because once people get used to me explaining myself and what I do in my personal life, they'll start feeling entitled to an explanation."
Despite being a movie star and a global sports phenomenon, Rousey admitted that she still gets star struck with other celebrities.
"Serena (Williams) hit me up and I almost died," she shared. "We've hung out a little bit and she's so cool. She's so awesome."
Rousey gushed: "At first I was like, 'Oh, my God, I'm so nervous.' And then after a few minutes I was like, 'This girl is so awesome!' We handled some sushi. It was nice to be out with another cool woman who can handle some food."
All things considered, these are just a simple indication of more bigger and better things to come for Ronda Rousey.
