Deadline.com reports that Ronda Rousey and Tina Fey will star in a comedy based on the Rousey trademarked phrase, “Do Nothing Bitches.” Universal Pictures acquired the concept in a “high-six figure deal” according to the web site.
A brief summary of the film states that Rousey to play a “no-nonsense instructor” at a camp where wealthy pampered wives get a rude awakening.
Rousey obtained a trademark to the phrase along with several variations of the name late last year. The phrase was based on an Embedded 190 interview.
Recently, Rousey asked for more time off which put her off of UFC 200 due to the pushing back of filming of the remake of “Roadhouse” which she is set to star in. There is no timeline for the new film with the former Saturday Night Live star since the film company just acquired the rights. It was announced earlier this year that Rousey would host the January 23rd edition of Saturday Night Live.
Payout Perspective:
The good news for Rousey is that her film career is starting to pick up as she is securing future film projects. The bad news for MMA fans is that it means less time in the Octagon and the possibility that she leaves sooner than later. It is clear that she wants to get back to avenge her loss to Holly Holm but the busy schedule and the revelation that you can make lots of money without having to cut weight or be hit in the face might (should) sway her future career ambitions.

I think that’s pretty much it for Rousey.
BTW, why wasn’t the blue book PPV section been updated with 193 & 194? As per tapology, the numbers for both events are in; 1.1 million for 193, 1.2 million for 194!
