When a fan thinks about women’s MMA, one name that comes often is Ronda Rousey. She is arguably the most popular women’s fighter of all time who is responsible for drawing attention to the UFC’s women’s bantamweight division.

Let us look back at when “Furious 7” actress Michelle Rodriguez willingly suffered injuries from Rousey during the shoot.

Rodriguez, who plays “Letty” in the film, asked Rousey not to hold back in one of their brawl scenes. This is all because she wanted the scene to look authentic and genuine. In an interview with Access, she said, “Hell yeah! I’m not about that girly-girl stuff. Like, I want it to be real. I want it to feel genuine.”

When asked if she was scared to brawl one on one with Rousey, she said, “Hell no [I wasn’t scared]! I want her to whoop my a**, if anything I’m begging for it!”

Michelle also mentioned sustaining injuries while filming with Rousey.

She said, “By the end of it I had two golf ball-sized knots on my head. She kept slamming me against the wall and I forgot to put my hand up, because you forget you’re doing stunts. I was like, ‘Oops, I forgot! There goes one golf ball! Do you think we can get it in two takes?'”

Rodriguez also mentioned how she would readily take a beating from Rousey again, as long as it looked “real” because she “loved it.” She also hopes that more women can come forward to play strong female characters in movies and provide justice to the roles.

Fighters feared Rousey because of her fierce attitude, brutal “armbar” finishes, and elite-level judo skills. Rousey stomped on all her opponents and viciously finished them in each of her fights. This was the prime of her career, as she looked downright unstoppable.
