Ronda Rousey is a complex individual. Not only is the current UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion undefeated and can finish an opponent in 14-seconds, but now she admits to Rolling Stone that she does it with “pizzazz.”

“I start to giggle my ass off,” Rousey said, describing the moments after she triumphs in the octagon. “It’s my first time alone. And for some reason, right then in the shower, it takes over, how happy I am, and I laugh my ass off. I mean, when was the last time you laughed like that at nothing that was funny?'” She pauses. “‘I need to feel pressure. I need to feel like winning is the biggest deal in the fucking universe. I wouldn’t do as well without people watching. I’d still win. But I wouldn’t do it with such pizazz.'”Pizazz? “‘Yeah, that’s it. I fight with pizazz. It’s a different sound from everyone else. It’s the sound of pizazz.'”

Next up, the athlete/actress is looking forward to the premiere of the “Entourage” movie (out June 3) and revealed during an interview with the Wall Street Journal Café that it was during one of her training camps when she developed a love for the show.

“I was several seasons deep and we’re in camp and Brad calls me and says, ‘Hey what’s up? Want to do some ‘Entourage’ movie stuff?’… Of course, we’re in camp so I only had a 40-minute slot where I could meet Doug Ellin and Jerry Ferrara, [who plays] Turtle, from the movie.”

She also said, “We sat down, ate an omelette, I went to training and by the time camp was over, we had a script and I was actually in it. I thought it was literally going to be no big thing … It turned out to be way more than that and way cooler than that. It was nice to have my first almost romantic comedy role when all I have done is action, which I love.”

When Rousey walks out to meet her opponent, she has Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation” playing as her entrance music.  For more on Rousey and her past film roles like “Furious 7,” check out this episode of The Gracie Note!
