Ronda Rousey to star in Hollywood comedy inspired by her most famous quote

Another role landed

It looks like the Ronda Rousey biopic won’t be the only time we see the UFC star play herself on the big screen.

Universal Pictures are reportedly developing a comedy entitled Do Nothing Bitches, which is set to star Tina Fey alongside the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion.

Deadline Hollywood report that Universal Pictures acquired a comedy pitch from Sisters writer Paula Pell for a sum in the high-six-figures.

The report describes the movie as ‘a female-empowerment tale dealing with wealthy pampered wives who get a rude awakening at a camp where Rousey plays the no-nonsense instructor’.

The title is a reference to one of Rousey’s quotes from an interview last summer.

Rousey, who hosts Saturday Night Live on January 23, has been staying  away from the spotlight since suffering her first career MMA loss to Holly Holm in November.

Rousey is also set to star in a Road House remake as well as a biopic based on her biography My Fight/Your Fight.
