It would appear that Ronda Rousey is expanding her portfolio. Not only is she the current WWE Raw women’s champ, and a prolific MMA fighter, she’s also now the voice of Sonya Blade in the next installment in the MK series. Ronda will be taking over VO duties for the world’s most badass cop starting with Mortal Kombat 11.

Ronda is known not only known for being a hardcore brawler herself, but also for being a bit of a pop culture geek who grew up on things like Dragon Ball Z and MK, so this seems like an appropriate match up.

In the video below, Ronda goes into detail about her experience playing Sonya Blade. Apparently, she’s not a fan of having to dress up for roles, so she was rather excited to get a chance to do some acting in comfortable attire.

Ronda Rousey and Sonya Blade seem like a match made in heaven, or hell, depending on how you look at it. Either way you toss it, we'll get to see more of Ronda as Sonya very soon as Mortal Kombat 11 is set for an April 23 release on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
