UFC legend Ronda Rousey is set to turn her life story into a Netflix movie after writing a script for a biopic based on her memoirs in just seven days.

Rousey, the former long-reigning UFC Women’s Bantamweight champion, has starred in a number of box-office hits over the past decade, including Expendables 3 with Sylvester Stallone and Fast & Furious 7 with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.

After calling time on her MMA career, the Olympic bronze medalist also boosted her profile by transitioning into WWE, where she won both the Raw and SmackDown Women’s Championship before officially retiring.

And according to Deadline, she is now set to venture into screenwriting in the latest venture of her post-fighting career.

Rousey recently released her own memoir, ‘Our Fight’, in which she opened up on the previously unknown health issue that forced her to bring the curtain down on her storied fighting career.

That memoir is now set to be transformed into a Netflix biopic, with the streaming giants impressed by Rousey writing up a script for the movie on her life story in the space of a week.

Mark Bomback, writer of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and The Wolverine, was initially slated to adapt the story into a screenplay, but the former WWE star is reportedly determined to do so herself.

Rousey’s agents at William Morris Endeavor [WME], the company that owns UFC, are said to have helped in her quest to become a screenwriter, a new career venture which appears to be taking off.

Netflix quickly snapped up the biopic after being won over by the screenplay, with Rousey and other producers expected to meet in the coming months and begin production.

The ex-fighter was initially set to play herself in the movie, however it is believed someone else will assume the role when filming gets underway.
