Ronda Rousey is probably best known for her fighting skills, but she also loves video games. The former UFC fighter announced that she is streaming exclusively with Facebook Gaming in a statement to Business Insider.
While major streaming platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and Mixer compete for attention, exclusively hiring big names is the norm. Facebook Gaming has recently stepped up its collaboration with the likes of Corinna Kopf, a member of YouTube’s “Vlog Squad” and former Twitch streamer, and now Rousey, who is making her streaming debut.
The prominent fighter revealed major points about her obsession with video games in the past, adding the fact that she is the moderator of a Pokémon forum on GameTalk. com. She also played the character Sonya Blade in “Mortal Kombat 11,” although not everyone is a fan of her voice casting.
“As many of you know, I have been an avid gamer most of my life and if you don’t know it, you know it now,” Rousey said in her announcement video. “I’m very excited that we will be up to date. ” , especially since we’re starting with ‘Pokémon Sword and Shield’. “After this week, we’ll keep a more consistent schedule, I don’t know, Sunday or Monday morning, we’ll find a solution. “
Rousey’s first broadcast will take place on Tuesday, February 18 at 6:00 p. m. m. EST, and she will donate all proceeds from her “Pokémon Sword and Shield” stream to bushfire recovery efforts in Australia.
“Gaming has always been a vital part of my life and I look forward to sharing this hobby with my millions of enthusiasts on Facebook Gaming,” Rousey said in a statement to Business Insider. “Through my streams, other people can spend time with the genuine me, not the ‘character’ edition of myself they’re used to seeing, even if the ‘Rowdy One’ can’t be contained at all times. “
