UFC champ Ronda Rousey says fighting career could be over in two years

BAD MMA News — Fri, 09 Aug 2013 03:05:00 +0000

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey does not believe for one second that her upcoming acting roles will distract her from focusing on her fighting career. But Rousey admits she thinks the clock could be ticking on her time in the cage. “I said from the beginning that I wok in quadrennials,” Rousey told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “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.” Rousey (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) has fought just once for the UFC, but she’s become a full-fledged superstar for the company. She was recently in Seattle as the face of the partnership between the UFC and the promotion’s official wireless provider, MetroPCS.
