UFC’s Ronda Rousey brings real fighting skills to ‘Expendables 3’

Just one of the boys? We don’t think so!

Ultimate Fighting champ Ronda Rousey, 27, is the only woman starring in this week’s “The Expendables 3”, but don’t think she’s just there for her looks. She’s the first American woman to win an Olympic medal in judo and has knocked out opponents in the UFC ring in only 16 seconds.

“To be honest, I’m really comfortable in an all-male setting. I grew up in gyms doing judo or MMA,” “Rowdy Ronda” tells the Hollywood Reporter. “I was always the sore thumb. People did not want me there, and I felt like an annoyance. But I was like, ‘You know what? I’m not going to cry.’ So I ‘Million Dollar Baby’-d the hell out of my coach! That was pretty much how that went down.”

We’re pretty sure she could take Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone in the ring. We’re absolutely sure she looks better on the beach.
