Laugh Track....Fight Club

UFC fighter Ronda Rousey made an appearance on last night’s ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” to talk about her upcoming fight. Host Jimmy Kimmel said, “I was worried that you were going to come out and, just to be funny, beat me up.” Rousey replied, “Only amateurs fight for free.” Rousey said of choosing to fight her opponent, Bethe Correia, in Brazil: “The thing is that I just want to beat her in the most devastatingly embarrassing way possible so I wanted to do it in front of her own people.” Despite being famous for submitting her opponents quickly, Rousey said that after a very public feud with Correia, the fight will not be quick: “I’m going to make sure this chick remembers and endures every single second of this fight” (“Jimmy Kimmel Live,” ABC, 7/2).
