Ronda Rousey will play herself in biopic

28 year old Ronda Rousey is making quite the name for herself, currently dominating the field of MMA with her crushing victories against all comers, with the latest being a 34 second takedown of Brazilian fighter Bethe Correia in July.

Ronda Rousey will play herself in biopic

She's also been getting involved in the world of acting, with her first ever on screen role in The Expendables 3 in 2014 and more roles in Furious 7 and the Entourage movie this year. And now she's taking on her biggest acting challenge yet - playing herself in a major biopic.

The word is that Paramount has snapped up the rights to her autobiography My Fight/Your Fight and has Mark Bomback (Insurgent, Total Recall) already working on the adaptation. But the weirdest element has to be the fact that Rousey is set to play herself in an account of her biggest fights to date, the loss of her father at a young age and what it takes to be the best in the world.
