Ronda Rousey may be an absolute force to contend with (other than when she’s contending with Holly Holm), but she possesses a whole host of other strengths. She’s the coolest queen of the nerds, and she’s pretty damn funny too. Ronda’s brand of humor can be delivered in deadpan ways, or she can simply bring out the knee-slapping laughs. Ahead of Rousey’s much anticipated SNL appearance, it’s worth noting the UFC star’s most hilarious moments in the spotlight.
Though Hollywood may be doubting Rousey’s big screen prowess, she’s proven herself a charismatic force during a prophetic visit to The Tonight Show and a tough yet twisted turn in Furious 7. Whether she’s falling into a perverted joke, busting out a stuffed animal, or taking down the Entourage guys with jabs about pilates, Rousey delivers the smirks. Her scathing putdowns are tempered with a toothpaste smile, so it doesn’t hurt (as much) once her leading men realize they don’t have a chance.
Speaking of which, Conan O’Brien may have fallen in love during Rousey’s “ideal man” discussion. Can you blame the guy? Folks are hard pressed not to be knocked out by Ronda Rousey. Much like Arnold Schwarzenegger’s titular character in The Terminator, Rousey can be neither bargained nor reasoned with, and that’s just how we like her. Brutal and bitingly funny, all at once.
