Loves a bit of Fedor

When you have just 10 minutes with ‘Rowdy’ Ronda Rousey, you want to make it count.

We recently travelled to Vancouver to meet the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion and spent two of those 10 precious minutes lobbing quickfire questions in her direction.

Rousey, speaking at the EA Sports UFC 2 shoot, revealed her favourite movie, cheat meal and band while she announced Demetrious Johnson as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world right now.

Perhaps most interestingly, the previously undefeated champion took her time when asked about the toughest opponent she’d ever faced. We expected her to name Holly Holm, the woman who dethroned her at UFC 193, but she opted for French judoka Gevrise Emane.

Stay tuned to SportsJOE.ie for more tid-bits from the interview, which include Ronda giving her best effort at pronouncing Irish names.
