From Pokemon Master to UFC Fighter

Ronda Rousey
For those of you who follow UFC then perhaps you know Ronda Rousey. Those that do not know who she is then here is some information. Ronda is an American mixed martial artist and the current UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion. This girl is so tough that she has won eleven of her twelve fights in the first round and has won a gold medal at the Olympics. Though, did you also know that Ronda is a Pokemon Champion?

Long ago, Ronda was once known as Mew182 on a forum called GameTalk where she was a moderator for the Pokémon Stadium 2 message board. A fan on Twitter had asked her about this. Here what Ronda had to say:

Ronda was only 16 at the time but she was really into gaming claiming that she would have dreams about Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. After having these dreams, Ronda would go ahead and play some LoZ for hours on end.

Pokemon fans can relate to Ronda. It sounded like she knows the struggles of starting a new game in Pokemon and how attach we can get to our favorite pocket monsters.

“I get emotionally involved, and that’s what makes it so hard to erase an old game. I have about eight Pokemon cartridges and almost as many memory cards for various systems.”
