UFC champion Ronda Rousey to star in new Hollywood action film

UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is gearing herself up for a role in new Hollywood action film Mile 22.

The 28-year-old, who is undefeated in 11 fights, is due to star alongside A-list actor Mark Wahlberg in the movie.

Before filming gets underway, Rousey will take on Brazilian fighter Bethe Correira and Miesha Tate.

"I'm going to go to Thailand or wherever we decide to film and prep for a month, and then start filming for like eight to 10 weeks, and then go beat up the next chick," Rousey told FOX Sports.

The feature-length film, which will be Rousey's fourth following roles in Entourage, Furious Seven and The Expendables 3, will be released in 2016.
