Ronda Rousey to star in ‘Road House’ remake
Ronda Rousey has landed another movie gig, and it may wind up being her most bad-ass role to date.
Rousey’s agent, Brand Slater, told MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani on Wednesday that Rousey is set to star in a remake of the popular 1980s classic “Road House.” The UFC women’s bantamweight champion will apparently play the lead role and in some way be the female version of “Dalton,” who is the heroic bouncer that the late Patrick Swayze portrayed in the original film.
If the new “Road House” is anything like the 1989 film, Rousey is sure to beat a lot of people up in the name of protecting a small town from corrupt businessmen. However, she may respectfully disagree with Dalton’s mantra that “no one wins a fight.”
Slater noted that production for the film will be dictated by Rousey’s training and fight schedule, per usual.
While this isn’t quite the role Rousey recently revealed she wants, it has the potential to be a good one.
