Ronda Rousey's Plan: Beat Up Bethe Correia and Miesha Tate, Then Go Film a Movie
The hustle doesn't stop in Ronda Rousey's world.
The women's bantamweight phenom has been on a run of dominance since entering the UFC ranks back in 2012, where the Rowdy one has steamrolled every opponent who has shared the Octagon with her. Furthermore, Rousey has not only risen to become the biggest star under the UFC banner, but her status has gone stratospheric in the world of mainstream entertainment as well.
From working the talk-show circuit to scoring roles in major motion picture franchises, the nonstop grind that has become the former Olympian's life moves at an incredible rate these days.

And from the sound of things in her interview with Damon Martin of Fox Sports ahead of her upcoming main event tilt against Bethe Correia at UFC 190, Rousey isn't planning on slowing things down anytime soon.
The women's 135-pound champion laid out her plan for the next few months, and she did so with her signature brand of confidence as she publicly stated her intentions of defeating the Brazilian title challenger this Saturday night and then putting a third beating on Miesha Tate before diving into her upcoming movie project Mile 22 with Mark Wahlberg.
While knocking out a list of lofty accomplishments of that caliber would be a career for some, just like everything else she has her hand in, Rousey makes it all seem like a foregone conclusion.
"Here's pretty much the plan," Rousey told Martin. "I'm going to beat up Bethe, then I'm going to take a couple of weeks to rest, and then I'm going to go beat up Miesha, and then I'm going to go to like Thailand or wherever we decide to film (Mile 22) and prep for like a month, and then start filming for like eight to 10 weeks, and then go beat up the next chick. That's pretty much my plan."
Although the undefeated phenom has her next challenge inside the cage happening this weekend in Brazil, talk of her next bout against Tate has already generated a bit of buzz. Cupcake was deemed the next contender to the women's bantamweight crown last Saturday night after she bested a game Jessica Eye to pick up her third straight victory at UFC on Fox 16 in Chicago.
With Rousey already having defeated Tate on two previous occasions, and having done so in dominant fashion, questions lingered to how much interest a trilogy fight would generate with Rousey. The no-nonsense-talking superstar addressed those matters in the interview as well and made it clear she's up for one more tussle with her longtime rival.
"There's fan interest, so there's my interest," Rousey said. "I'm interested in defending my title as many times as I need to before I feel like I'm done. If she's the best competitor and she's who the fans want to see, then yeah, I'm extremely interested in doing it."
