UFC Legend Ronda Rousey Takes Control in Chaotic Movie Theatre Incident
Ronda Rousey once turned an ordinary movie night into a display of her elite grappling skills, handling two unruly men who caused chaos in the theatre. The UFC legend’s quick reactions turned a disruptive scene into a memorable moment, much to the delight of the stunned audience.
Most people head to the cinema to relax and enjoy a film in peace. However, for Ronda Rousey, that wasn’t the case during a particular movie theatre outing. Instead, she found herself in the middle of a confrontation when two men and their girlfriends disrupted the entire theater.
Ronda Rousey Movie Theatre Showdown
During an interview on Power 106 Los Angeles, Rousey recounted the event, and UFC CEO Dana White chimed in with his version of the story:
“We went to the movie theater, and it’s totally packed, except for there’s a couple of seats next to each other,” Rousey explained.
White added more context: “These two big dudes come into the movie theatre with their two girlfriends. The type of people that laugh and joke and talk on the phone during the movie. And to make things worse, the girls put their feet right up on her seat.”
Unsurprisingly, the situation tested Rousey’s patience, “She put her little uggs on both sides of my head, the whole movie,” Rousey recalled, visibly frustrated.
Rousey Not Afraid to Speak Out
As the movie ended, tensions reached their peak. Dana White detailed what happened next: “As soon as the credits started to roll, she rips this girl’s ugg off and throws it at the movie screen.”
The men accompanying the women became furious and tried to block Rousey’s exit. “They block my way, and they’re like, ‘You better go get her boot’, and I’m like, ‘No, I’m not,’” Rousey said, standing her ground.
When one of the men decided to escalate matters by pushing her, things quickly turned physical. White continued, “One of the guys pushes her, [she] flips him over, slams him on the floor.”
The scene could have shocked the theatre crowd, but instead, the audience erupted in applause,
“I dropped the two guys,” Rousey stated. “This is how obnoxious this group was — the whole movie theatre was applauding.”
Dana White has repeatedly expressed his admiration for Rousey, with this story further showcasing why she remains one of the most captivating figures in combat sports.
While her days as an MMA fighter may be behind her, fans continue to hope for her return to the Octagon. Until then, moments like these add to her legacy as a pioneer who changed the sport forever.
