1. Ronda Rousey

Though everyone was vaguely shocked earlier this year when Ronda Rousey suddenly became the voice of Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat 11, the reasoning behind the decision wasn't purely because the former UFC fighter is a bona-fide pop-culture icon and would be good for marketing, but because she also has a genuine love of video games.

It's not just the bloodsport titles that happily compliment her career in companies like UFC and WWE either, but Rousey apparently has major love for Nintendo. A self-professed Pokemon fan, the star has said on multiple occasions how obsessed she was with the franchise (as we all were) as a kid, playing through all the games and even spending her time down the mall indulging in real life Pokemon tournaments.

The Legend of Zelda was apparently Rousey's other major franchise, again playing all generations of the series to death. Throw on top of this the likes of Mortal Kombat and World of Warcraft, and it's safe to say Ronda Rousey could kick your virtual ass as easy as she could your real one.
