It should be noted that more than a year that the Ultimate Fighting Champion Rousey made headlines when she said that she will not fight Fallon Fox, a trans mixed martial artist, as Fox bone structure "gave her an unfair advantage." Rousey said that she thinks that every single woman should be evaluated case-by-case in the athletic commission they are applying for to have a license. 

Now, Rousey said that she will not turn down and refuse any fight from anyone else. She added that she believes that UFC is the first truly "equal" sport for both men and women and, according to reports, she said that she could defeat a bantam weight male fighter in the world.

However, she clarified that she will never fight a man as the 28-year-old Rousey believe that a man who hits a woman will send a "wrong message" to the fans of UFC.

Meanwhile, the UFC women bantamweight champion Rousey has revealed that she wants to be an action star so she will not worry about dying, cited Mma Junkie.

In an interview at "The Howard Stern Show," she said that it might be cool to do something similar that will not worry her "about dying." In 2013, Rousey has started to play roles in the "Fast & Furious 7" and "The Expendables 3."

"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," she said.

Furthermore, Rousey has released this week a new autobiography and booked a cover in "Sports Illustrated" - being named as the most dominant athlete in sports.
