Ronda Rousey is too famous to get a match on Tinder

No one is prepared to swipe right

We can’t get enough Ronda Rousey in our lives and we’re not just saying that because she could snap our arm like a digestive biscuit.

You can’t go a day without hearing the name of the UFC women’s bantamweight champion and with good reason, considering her dominance in the sport of mixed martial arts.

She is arguably the biggest draw in the sport and is up there with the Conor McGregors of the world in terms of popularity.

But all that fame is wreaking havoc on the online dating potential of Rowdy who has claimed in an interview with Sports Illustrated’s Jon Wertheim who reveals that Rousey was forced to adopt an pseudonym in an attempt to get dates on Tinder.

“Her fame is such that she can’t go on Tinder. She tried an alter ego – Brynn Campbell – but that didn’t work. Her friends, male and female, have only to download the dating app, swipe a few times and … action, or at least the potential for it. Rousey, 28, is left on the sideline at home with [her dog] Mochi. ‘S**t, she says, the only person I’m making out with is my dog’.”
