Ronda Rousey lands guest-star role on NBC series 'Blindspot'

Ronda Rousey will be acting on television before she fights inside the octagon — that is, if she ever fights again.

Rousey, the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion, has landed a guest starring role on the NBC crime-drama series “Blindspot,” which airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Rousey’s appearance will come in Season 2, Episode 20 scheduled for early May.

The details of Rousey’s role:

Rousey will be playing DEVON PENBERTHY: a female prison inmate who grew up in a working class family from the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and is serving time for transporting weapons across state lines. She is a tough, athletic woman who knows how to fight and handle a weapon.

This marks Rousey’s second guest spot on a TV series. In 2016, Rousey appeared in a non-speaking role on Comedy Central’s “Drunk History.”

Rousey made her long-awaited return to the octagon at UFC 207 in December, when she lost by TKO to champion Amanda Nunes in 48 seconds. Since then, Rousey hasn’t spoken publicly, instead only posting a cryptic message on Instagram about her future.

Though no definitive announcement has been made by Rousey as to whether she’ll fight in the UFC again, UFC President Dana White said last month that he believes Rousey’s fighting career is “probably done.”
