Former UFC champion and WWE star Ronda Rousey is going from the mats to the writers’ room for an adaptation of her memoirs on Netflix. According to Deadline, Rousey is grappling with screenwriting to create a biopic based on her books, My Fight/Your Fight and Our Fight, which she co-wrote with her sister, Maria Burns Ortiz. Chernin Entertainment could produce, but details about their pact with Netflix remain in limbo.
Initially, Paramount was going to enter the Octagon with Rousey after snagging the rights to her first book, but after the studio played musical chairs with high-ranking positions, the rights lapsed, and Netflix pinned them down. Rousey’s books delve deeper into her personal and professional journey, detailing her struggle with suicidal ideation after her first loss to Holly Holm and raising awareness about the concussions she’d suffered before her Mma career. The text also investigates her complicated relationship with coach Edmond Tarverdyan.

Exclusive: Having found success on so many fronts throughout her career, former UFC champion and WWE star Ronda Rousey has now found a new challenge to tackle and that is the role of screenwriter. Sources tell Deadline that Rousey has closed a deal to adapt the script for her own biopic at Netflix. It would be based on both her memoirs, My Fight/Your Fight and Our Fight, which she co-wrote with her sister, Maria Burns Ortiz. While their deal isn’t closed, sources say Chernin Entertainment is expected to produce.
Netflix declined to comment.
The project was originally set up at Paramount in 2015 when the studio acquired the rights to her first memoir My Fight/Your Fight. Following a handful of regime changes at the studio, the rights would eventually lapse with Netflix ultimately jumping on them after Netflix exec — and long Rousey fan — Michelle Evans championed the project.

Amanda Nunes has done it — defeats Mma legend Ronda Rousey!
In a stunning victory, the women’s bantamweight championship belt remains with Nunes. On Friday, the 28-year-old Brazilian, nicknamed “the Lioness,” proved she’s a force to be reckoned with after defending her belt against the once long-reigning champion in an intense fight.
In 48-seconds in the first round, Nunes (14-4) won by Tko to retain the bantamweight title.
It was the third fastest knockout in women’s Ufc bantamweight history, and the second consecutive knockout loss for Rousey (12-2).

Rousey, who has been absent from the public eye since her loss to Holly Holm last November, stepped onto the scale looking extremely well-conditioned and is noticeably leaner. One thing is for certain, the former champion has been working extremely hard on her physique.

Ronda Rousey thinks like a winner. As she told Ellen DeGeneres in February, she's ready to redeem herself after losing to Holly Holm last November. "I really do believe I'm still undefeated because being defeated is a choice," Rousey said. "Everybody has losses in their life, but I choose to always be undefeated." Technically speaking, Holm ended Rousey's undefeated streak and three-year reign as a Ufc champion. But no matter. Rousey has had 13 months to think and to train, and she will return to the octagon for the first time Friday when she faces Amanda Nunes at Ufc 207 in Las Vegas. "Ronda's in the best shape of her life right now," a source tells E! News...

Fight Valley isn’t the kind of movie I usually watch, so I was quite intrigued to see if I would enjoy it. I like a good action flick, and I like crime drama when it’s done well, so there was enough going on in the synopsis of this film to grab my attention. The main appeal of the film though is the casting of many well known Ufc names. Let’s talk about that for a moment.
I was a fan of Ufc back in the nineties. I watched the stuff with Shamrock and Royce Gracie and Kimo, but since that decade ended I have only seen snippets...
