You might know that Ronda Rousey likes Pokemon quite a bit - she has talked about it pretty openly - but do you know how much? And did you have any idea that she once moderated a Pokemon fan forum?

Yes, that's how much the former women's bantamweight champion is into the Pokemon craze, and that came way before Pokemon Go was a thing.

Honestly, it's somewhat shocking Rousey hasn't become more of a geek icon. Maybe it's because she beats people up in a cage for a living, but she's very much into Dragon Ball Z, Game of Thrones, and World of Warcraft, on top of Pokemon.

Pokemon is the big one though, clearly. Really, how many UFC world champions (or former world champions, to be accurate) own Pikachu outfits? A safe guess would be none, but since Rousey does, lets go with not many.
