Ronda Rousey has officially reached icon status.
Artist Jonas Never made a mural of Rousey that appears on the side of a Mexican restaurant called Clutch in Venice, Calif. Rousey was born in Riverside and trains in Glendale, but she lives in Venice and represents the city in fighting.
“Best fighter in the world… and Venice resident #RondaRousey at Clutch on Lincoln,” Never wrote on Instagram after posting a photo of the mural.
Rousey posted a photo of the mural on Instagram Monday and seemed to be proud of it.
“Thank you @never1959 for the beautiful Venice mural!!! Growing up in Venice gives you a real appreciation for street art,and this is the biggest possible compliment from one local to another.”
Never is a very popular artist. His murals appear at various locations throughout Southern California, such as this great “Karate Kid” one I came across in Encino. He also is responsible for the incredible Stuart Scott mural in Westchester.
If you ask me, this is the ultimate honor Rousey has received.
