I'd actually like to ask you about performing fight scenes in movies. It's a time for me to be entertained, you know what I mean? It's a time to not be on and entertaining somebody else. It's more of my relaxation and alone time than anything. My commentary during games is not that exciting. I'd be titties out with controller in hand like "Let's do this." But no, I don't think so. I'm like, "You're like a supermodel sitting there, playing video games! They'd love that stuff." But she's a real humble girl. And then she'll make a lot of money doing it. Yeah, I think she pays more of her bills streaming than she does from fighting. You mean, like, having people watch you play? Would you ever be interested in streaming any of the games you play? Well, he's actually been getting into streaming video games quite a bit, and to the point where he would like to do it full-time after his fighting career winds down. I've heard that your favourite male fighter is Demetrious Johnson. I like to get into character, not make them me. The kind of things guys don't think about when they're designing a character-"I just want to make this guy look badass!" I need some kinda style that an evil girl would put her hair up as. My Night Elf will have goody two-shoes, I-like-to-waltz-through-the-forest hair. So with my Blood Elf, I'll have her be with, like, evil bitchier hair.

I have a tendency to make characters look more what I would like to look like if I was in that world. I really don't try to make characters look a lot like me. I don't like feeling like I don't have immediate control over my body you know, like, figuring out what buttons do and saying "No, you do that!" It's much easier for me to counter a double with a Harai Goshi than finding the buttons that do that.īut it's cool to see the little details and the little mannerisms of mine that have been picked up on and put into the game.ĭo you ever try to create yourself in a game, or do you want to roleplay as someone else when you're playing something like World of Warcraft? I don't like watching my own character or playing my own character, to be honest. So after you've been captured and put into the game, how does it feel to see your character model doing the things you do and being able to control yourself with a gamepad? The only thing that really bothers me is wearing the shoes because both MMA and judo are barefoot doing small movements like stutter steps or lunging makes you slip a little bit inside your shoe, so my movements are a little bit different. And then MMA got me used to wearing tight spandex so it's kind of a mix between the two. A gi is big and chunky and uncomfortable to move in-you get used to it. The suit doesn't really bug me at all because I grew up doing judo. How hard is it to do the same kind of things you do in the octagon while wearing the mocap suit? I noticed that you said you aren't used to wearing shoes when you fight. We caught up with Rousey after a motion capture session at an event for EA's upcoming UFC game to talk about being in a game, the possibility of streaming on Twitch, and the video game character she'd most want to star as in a movie.

Rousey is an avid World of Warcraft player, rolling with her Night Elf Hunter and Blood Elf Rogue, and she's also a fan of Pokemon-her favourite being Mew. Former UFC Bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is the cover athlete for EA Sports UFC 2, but she doesn't only appear in video games, she also enjoys playing them.
