Just a few days after knocking out Brazil's Bethe Correia at UFC 190 in 34 seconds, Ronda Rousey is set to star in the film adaptation of her autobiography "My Fight/Your Fight," Variety reports. Paramount Pictures has secured the rights to Ronda Rousey's New York Times best-selling book with screenwriter Mark Bomback on board to adapt the book for film.
"My Fight/Your Fight" is written by Rousey and her sister Maria Burns Ortiz and tells the inspirational story that celebrates the accomplishments of Rousey, who was faced with extraordinary challenges on her road to glory.
"Can't wait to work with Paramount, the talented Mark Bomback and Mary Parent! When it's time to make this, I promise to make it special," Rousey wrote on Instagram.
The Ultimate Fighting champion is no stranger to Hollywood, according to CNN. She plays herself in 2015's "Entourage" as the love interest of one of the main characters. She also appears in "The Expendables 3" and "Furious 7." Rousey is attached to star in the upcoming action-thriller "Mile 22," as well as "The Athena Project," about an all-female counterterrorism team.
Mary Parent is producing along with Rousey. Bomback be an executive producer.
"It's a real honor to be a part of bringing Ronda's incredible story to the big screen," Parent says.
