While talking about Rousey in an interview, Lovato said, “I remember going to a fighter and saying, ‘I bet you money that the fight will be short enough to put on Instagram’. It was, and she did. The guys around me were like, ‘are you joking?’ and I was like, ‘no joke’. What impresses me most about Ronda is, she’s a good role model.”
To express her respect for the legendary combat athlete, Lovato even gave her a spot in one of her songs. She included, “Knock ’em all out, beat ’em like Rousey,” in her song ‘Star’ from the ‘Confident’ album in 2015.
Later, Rousey expressed she was honored to receive a shout-out from the singer. Moreover, the Mexican-born artist has shown her support for the former UFC women’s champion by posting about her on social media several times.
