Ronda Rousey Reveals Which Pokemon She'd Like to Fight

Plus, the 28-year-old undefeated UFC star says she's an active World of Warcraft player and really likes Dragon Ball Z.

104 Comments

Fresh off her 34-second smackdown of Bethe Correia in UFC 190 earlier this month, fighter Ronda Rousey held an Ask Me Anything on Reddit last night. And it was really excellent.

No Caption Provided

The 28-year-old answered plenty of questions about her skills in the octagon, but we also learned more about Rousey's other interests, such as Pokemon, World of Warcraft, and Dragon Ball Z.

The AMA wasn't the first time Rousey talked about her nerdy interests, but we did learn some more in the crowd interview.

Below are some highlights from Rousey's AMA in the area of gaming/nerd culture (and chicken wings).

  • Her favorite Pokemon is Mew.
  • She used to moderate a Pokemon forum.
  • She's an "active" World of Warcraft player with a Night Elf Hunter. She's also working on a Blood Elf Rogue.
  • She plays a mage named Randa on Taichi Panda.
  • She's up to the third Game of Thrones book. And don't spoil anything. She "will shank a bitch who tries to give sh** away about the series cause you watched the show already."
  • Asked if she would rather fight 100 Mewtwo-sized Mews or one Mew-sized Mewtwo, she replied: "One Mew-sized Mewtwo, 'cuz everyone knows that even though Mewtwo has better stats than Mew, 100 Mews totally overcome that."
  • If she had to fight a Pokemon in the octagon, she would choose Throh. "Because he's the Judo Pokemon and would challenge me the most :)"
  • Her favorite male UFC fighter is Demetrious Johnson, because he's "well-rounded" and reminds her of watching Dragon Ball Z. "I feel like I'm watching one of the later episodes of Dragon Ball Z when you only see one second of action going on between them disappearing 'cuz they're going so damn fast."
  • Her favorite Mortal Kombat character is Princess Kitana. "'Cuz in the Sega version you could press down and punch up vs the computer and get to the fifth guy from the top with all flawless victories because the computer wouldn't learn to throw you from the floor until it was almost the end."
  • She once at 60 chicken wings in one sitting--but she could probably do better. "At least 60 in one sitting. But there were no bets on the table. I think I could've done more if it really came down to it."

@ignisnobueno: She keeps winning because there's no other female bantam weight fighters that are any good. Even Tate and Zingano aren't that great when compared to male bantam weight fighters.

I doubt that's the reason why she's winning. Rousey medaled in the men's judo in the olympics. I doubt the olympics are fixed.

Because of results of fights I've seen, I doubt the UFC is fixed either. They'll purposely give fighter easy fights because they want them to win and/or have a title shot, but that's not the same as someone being asked to throw a fight. Since UFC is legally gambled on, fixing fights would be highly illegal as well.

@JustinGoSka: there's a certain country in the world that is in complete control of all the banking systems. There's a country in the world where they were willing to sacrifice thousands of thousands of lives and historical building for the sake of starting a war in another country they had no business being in. Now if you're going to sit there and tell me that this specific country can manipulate those world events right before the eyes of the public. Yet not be able to do it to something that this specific country owns such as the Olympics. I would say that mighty naive. But I guess ignorance is bliss

@ignisnobueno: What specific country is this exactly?

I wasn't aware of any country owning the olympics.

@ignisnobueno: That's what I thought, nothing left to say.

What you were trying to say doesn't even make sense. I'm guessing you think France owns the olypics because they were started by Pierre de Coubertin . But why you think France would fix the men's judo competition so that an American girl would place 2nd is beyond me.

I don't buy in to conspiracy theories like that. You probably walk around with tinfoil on your head to keep the government from reading your mind. I live in reality though

@ignisnobueno: I understand what you're saying, but you should have probably worded it a lot better. You are only reinforcing the stereotype that gamers are mysogynistic.

@gamerboy100: if people can't read between the lines that's not my problem. If that was the case, I would be responsible for religion, the horrible social media that purposely degrade the morals of human beings. And the fact that the original Jews are black, not white.

In conclusion, I am NOT to be held accountable for people's ignorance.

@ignisnobueno: It's quite obvious that the UFC has been fixed/rigged for some time now. Not saying the fights are actually choreographed but the higher ups choose a champ and build them up through non title fights and staged feuds. Once they become the "champ" they protect them by giving them guaranteed wins against weaker opponents. The fighters that are compliant in this are obviously roided up and build up the hype machine with fake feuds before the fight. The legitimate fighters who don't want any part of it get strewed over by being given little training time and are forced to change weight classes for silly exhibition fights in hopes that they are injured so they can finally go away.

@ignisnobueno: Couldn't agree more! His early fights were very entertaining, but by the end it was like he had been beaten down mentally by all the behind the scenes bs. Not to mention he wasn't an arrogant asshole so the UFC needed a new "champ" to pull in more viewers during title fights.

@bubba_1988: I would have figured everybody knew how rig the UFC was that they're letting Brock Lesnar come from the WWE straight to a title bout and allowed the victory to him. And now they want CM Punk to join as well G some people need a wake up man

EDIT: And that is her real name, by the way. Google is your friend.

@ignisnobueno: The two articles about Silva prove nothing. Did you read the end of them?

"Until the bitter Brazilian reveals his secrets, however, it's just another matter of sour grapes. That's because UFC stands to lose everything it has spent years and millions to build, making Silva's claims, for now, rather unbelievable."

"So, if Silva has proof of fight-fixing, it would truly be a “bomb.”"

He said he has proof, but why hasn't he shown it?

And the other article has NOTHING to do with fixed matches!
