EXCLUSIVE: Having found success on so many fronts throughout her career, former UFC champion and WWE star Ronda Rousey has now found a new challenge to tackle and that is the role of screenwriter.
Sources tell Deadline, Rousey has closed a deal to adapt the script for her own biopic at Netflix that would be based on both her memoirs, My Fight/Your Fight and Our Fight, which she co-wrote with her sister, Maria Burns Ortiz.
While their deal isn’t closed, sources say Chernin Entertainment is expected to produce. Netflix declined to comment. The project was originally set up at Paramount in 2015 when the studio acquired the rights to her first memoir My Fight/Your Fight.
Following a handful of regime changes at the studio, the rights would eventually lapse with Netflix ultimately jumping on them after Netflix exec, Michelle Evans, championed the project after being a long time fan of Rousey.
