Ronda Rousey participated in open workouts at Venice Beach, California, as she prepares to headline the first MMA card streamed by Netflix.

Ronda Rousey left an impression at open workouts three days before her fight with Gina Carano . Not only did she flip one sparring partner with force and punch another with snap, she also conducted a lively interview after her workout at an event in Venice Beach, California, streamed by Netflix on Wednesday, May 13. Sibley Scoles, hosting the event for Netflix, looked at Rousey and said, “you paint pictures every time you talk.

But to paint that picture, your idea is coming to fruition finally on Saturday night. I see the smile. What does that mean to you?

’’ Replied Rousey: “I'm not some kind of (expletive) alien. Anybody out there can see an opportunity that doesn't exist yet and create it for themselves. ’’ OK, then.

At 39, Rousey will be stepping into a hexagon cage for her first MMA fight in more than a decade when she squares off with Gina Carano, 44, at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, Saturday, May 16. It will be the first MMA event streamed by Netflix. A former UFC champion and inductee into the UFC Hall of Fame, Rousey is seeking to rewrite the final chapter of her career, which ended with knockout losses to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes.
