Already en route to becoming a national sensation, this could further increase Rousey\u2019s popularity and public exposure.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, rumors have been circulating this week that Rousey was offered a role in a <em>Hunger Games<\/em> sequel. However, Ronda Rousey wouldn\u2019t be the first lady of MMA to make the crossover to the big screen. Many of you fight fans already know about Gina Carano, the first women\u2019s martial artist to make a successful transition into Hollywood. Carano starred in the blockbuster <em>Haywire<\/em>, and can next be seen starring alongside Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) in the upcoming <em>Fast and Furious <\/em>sequel.<\/p>\n<p>So, will Rousey jump ship and cash in on the fame and fortune promised by Hollywood?<\/p>\n<p>Ronda\u2019s manager, Darvin Harvey, has already addressed this matter on Ronda\u2019s behalf:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cIf a film opportunity comes along, we\u2019re not going to say no if it\u2019s the right opportunity,\u201d Harvey told The Bleacher Report. \u201cEvery big producer in Hollywood has taken interest in Ronda.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, Harvey insists that Ronda is committed first and foremost to her fight career:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cOur primary goal is to focus on fighting, that\u2019s what\u2019s got her here. She\u2019s a fighter, she has a lot to prove, so she\u2019s going to be fighting. There\u2019s been a lot of interest in Ronda, but her primary goal is training and fighting.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ronda just recently signed with the UFC after the addition of their new women\u2019s bantamweight division. The organization has been marketing the living daylights out of her to promote their brand. It wouldn\u2019t make much sense for her to crossover into acting when there is still so much to prove in the sport, not mention the influx of competition she has yet to defeat. Dana White, President of the UFC, recently expressed his opinion on fighters-turned-actors on Fuel TV\u2019s UFC Tonight:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cYou know how I feel about the movie stuff. When Rampage did the movie, it was his dream to be a part of the A-Team. I don\u2019t want to take away any opportunities from Ronda, but at the same time, her window of opportunity as a professional athlete is really narrow. She could make a zillion movies when she retires. Where she\u2019s really going to get the money is here fighting. I don\u2019t care if she\u2019s the lead role in \u2018The Hunger Games 2,\u2019 she would not make anywhere near \u2013 I mean, not even in the universe \u2013 to the money she makes fighting.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dana makes an excellent point. A professional fighter has a very short shelf-life, and can only fight at a highly competitive level for so long (\u201cinsert Chuck Liddell reference here\u201d). Acting, on the other hand, will always be a legitimate option after her fight career is over. As the new face of the UFC women\u2019s division, Ronda has a bright future ahead of her; a highly lucrative future with much historical significance to the sport of Mixed Martial Arts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ronda Rousey has signed with premiere Hollywood talent agency William Morris Endeavor; only a week after making history winning the Ultimate Fighting Championship\u2019s first ever women\u2019s fight.
