Ronda Rousey Boyfriend Rumors: UFC Star Gives Fight Insight
UFC star Ronda Rousey recently admitted that she is in a relationship, but didn't reveal who her boyfriend is. Rousey confirmed the boyfriend rumors before UFC 175, at which she retained her title by knocking out Alexis Davis in 16 seconds.
Rousey's love life has become a subject of interest among those who are avid fans of the brutal sport. She has often been linked to MMA fighter Brendan Schaub. There have been many sightings of them spending time with each other and rumors of a brewing romance started earlier this year.
Another name frequently connected to Rousey is reporter Michael Mardones.
Besides him, Rousey previously dated Henry Akins, a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu expert and the third American to earn the special black belt, but it is unclear when their relationship ended.
In a previous interview with Fox Sports, Rousey admitted that she had an advantage over Davis because of her lack of attachments. Davis has a boyfriend and a four-year old daughter.
Rousey said that she would "always be willing to sacrifice more than her (Davis) in the cage." and, "I don't have the responsibility to be there for anyone. When I go in there, I have no problem dying for the title. It's the most important thing in the world to me. It can't be that to her."
Rousey added, "Putting a child in front of you can be a disadvantage for you sometimes when you're fighting."
Apart from being the first and current UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion, Rousey has also started an acting career. She will be appearing in The Expendables 3 and Fast and Furious 7.
