Ronda Rousey is a lot of things.
She is an Olympic bronze medalist. She is an actress. She has been on magazine covers and hailed by publications as the most dominant athlete on the planet.

The UFC women's bantamweight is undefeated as a professional, and although her good looks have aided her meteoric rise to superstardom, she would rather be known for her skills inside The Octagon as opposed to her sex appeal.
She said as much when asked about being tabbed as the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet by Sports Illustrated during a recent interview for HBO's "Real Sports" which aired Tuesday.
"It makes me feel way better than if someone told me I was pretty," Rousey said. "If I was voted 'Sexiest Woman Alive,' it wouldn't make me nearly as happy."
Rousey has always been candid, and she isn't one to avoid discussing the subjects people want her to discuss, namely, her sex appeal.
"If you want exposure, you have to exposure yourself to some extent," she said during the interview. "I don't really see myself as a sex symbol because ever since people started calling me a sex symbol I haven't really had a lot of sex in my life. It's not really working out great for me."
Rousey steps back inside The Octagon on Aug. 1 when she takes on Bethe Correia at UFC 190 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The fight marks Rousey's sixth title defense since joining the UFC in August 2012. Rousey is 11-0 as a professional and has finished her last three opponents in 96 seconds combined.
