In a rare photo, we can see the bodybuilder standing between Rousey and her mother as the trio pose for a cheerful-looking picture.

De Mars tweeted this photo in 2o18 and revealed that the former Mr. Olympia had joined them at dinner. She tweeted, “Guess who dropped in at dinner? Indeed, the fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger casually dropped by to meet with Rousey and her mother at their house makes the photo more wholesome.

In her praise for The Rowdy One, the bodybuilding icon and Hollywood action hero Arnold once compared Rousey to the Terminator. He praised her ruthless nature during fights. He said, “Ronda Rousey’s kind of like a female Terminator, that is relentless and feels no mercy, no pain, no remorse, no pity.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the most popular global stars with a massive fanbase. Hence, him being a fan of the former UFC Champion should be a great honor for Ronda Rousey.
