Ronda Rousey is professionally an American wrestler, but fans also know her as an ardent follower of video games. So much so, she received a gigantic World of Warcraft: Shadowlands gift from Blizzard Entertainment and shared it on her YouTube channel.
With this, she joins a list of other elite fighters who have documented their love for video games. UFC superstar Israel Adesanya revealed a few days back that he is fanboying over the stunning gameplay mechanics of PlayStations 5’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
Ronda, however, isn’t new to the world of Azeroth. She has previously revealed how she had bonded with co-star Vin Diesel while filming for the seventh entry in the Fast and Furious franchise. After finishing filming, Ronda and Vin had bonded over World of Warcraft.
