10 Things You Didn't Know About Ronda Rousey
7. She Nearly Picked A Fight With An Octagon Girl
Ronda Rousey has had more than her fair share of beefs since joining the UFC back in 2013. In fact, it's safe to say she has been a magnet for controversy. There was the Miesha Tate feud, most notably. That ongoing rivalry helped sell a number of tickets and was the focus of an entire season of The Ultimate Fighter. In fact, had Tate not opted to retire following UFC 205 this month, the two were highly expected to face off in the cage one last time.
However, one of the more bizarre feuds in Rousey's MMA career wasn't with a fighter, but an octagon girl - the popular Arianny Celeste. Years ago, when both had a spot on the Maxim Hot 100 list, Rousey called out Celeste, saying "It would have been really funny if I'd beaten Arianny Celeste, because that would be like a triathlete coming along and beating the runners in a marathon" and adding that Celeste's job was simply to show her t--s.
Celeste fired back, calling Rousey a bully, and the two had it out in the media for quite some time.
