UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) has had a\u00a0big impact on the sport of Mixed Martial Arts and in doing so has become a major ‘superstar’ in the UFC.<\/p>\n

Before settling on a career in MMA, Rousey participated and won a bronze medal in Judo at\u00a0the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

Now, with\u00a0Ronda recieving\u00a0opportunities\u00a0to star in\u00a0movies and make money outside of the cage, many are wondering how much longer she will stay in the sport of MMA.<\/p>\n

Rousey recently talked to MMAJunkie.com and touched on the topic:<\/p>\n

“I said from the beginning that I work in quadrennials,” <\/em>said Rousey. “I do four-year cycles. I think I’ve got two years left in me, realistically, if I’m going to do this like an Olympic run.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I think one profession has a much-longer shelf life than the other. My last fight, I was kind of forced to face my mortality a little bit. I had an air of invincibility about me, and I was kind of forced to realize statistically there is a chance you could get permanently hurt or even die. There’s only so many times you can roll the dice.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I am the best f—ing fighter in the world, and I truly believe that, but you’re still rolling the dice no matter who you are, so I do have to kind of set up an exit strategy. That’s what I did wrong in judo. I followed it all the way until the end, and I didn’t put any thought into after.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I really want to do something special, and I really want to be the person that was able to do both (acting and fighting).”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I’ve got two more years to get the ball rolling without me. TUF was the first step. It’s not the last one, but the work’s getting done.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rousey’s next octagon appearance will serve as a rematch against\u00a0her longtime\u00a0rival Miesha Tate in the co-main event of UFC 168 this December.<\/p>\n
