#1. Pre-fight s*x ritual

Speaking on Jim Rome's talk show, Rousey revealed an interesting pre-fight tradition, where she had as much s* x as she could have to boost her testosterone levels.

"For girls it raises your testosterone so I try to have as much s*x as possible before I fight, actually. Not with like everybody. I don't put out Craigslist ads or anything. But if I got a steady I'm going to be like, 'Yo, fight time's coming up," she said (H\T: Business Insider)

Presently, the 38-year-old former champion is enjoying retirement on her farm away from the limelight with her husband and two daughters. She departed from the Stamford-based promotion after competing at SummerSlam 2023. It will be thrilling to see if Rousey will return to World Wrestling Entertainment in the future.
