Mike ChiariMar 26, 2015

UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is among the hottest commodities in all of sports, but the Octagon will continue to be her main focus for the foreseeable future.  

According to Fox Sports: UFC on Twitter, the 28-year-old superstar has signed a long-term contract to remain with the UFC:

Rousey acknowledged the new deal Wednesday on ESPN's First Take, and she also discussed what it means in terms of potentially taking on other athletic endeavors.

"I'm a UFC fighter. I just renegotiated. I have a lot of fights that I have in the UFC before I would be able to go do anything else," she said, via Damon Martin of FoxSports.com.

There has been some talk regarding Rousey dabbling in boxing or even professional wrestling with WWE at some point, but the UFC ensured neither will happen for now.

Rousey is scheduled to headline UFC 190 in Brazil against Bethe Correia, but the undefeated champ doesn't seem particularly concerned about her opponent, per Fox Sports: UFC:

Rowdy has dominated the UFC ranks unlike any woman or man to ever grace the Octagon. Boredom setting in could be a concern, but it wasn't enough to prevent her from re-signing.

Rousey is arguably the biggest draw in the UFC right now, and the company undoubtedly made a smart move by keeping her for the foreseeable future.
