She said she was motivated to sign with WWE because it&#8217;s a dream she always had, and she decided to try it before she and her husband have kids. She said she&#8217;ll do this\u00a0\u201cbefore being barefoot and pregnant for a couple of years.\u201d She said she&#8217;s been working with an acting coach for five years. Things got tense when Max Kellerman asked her about people&#8217;s focus on her losses in MMA instead of her wins.

In the video, she says she doesn&#8217;t need motivation to work out hard. She said it&#8217;s grueling, but she thrives in this environment. She said she will surprise a lot of people and exceed expectations &#8220;and have a surprise on my face the whole time, and if not, I&#8217;m probably suppressing it.&#8221; She laughed when asked if Stephanie is training as hard as her.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ronda Rousey trains for four hours straight at WWE&#039;s Performance Center\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ATOw_wUpnOE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>-Ronda got prickly again when her MMA career was brought up, and completely misunderstood a question on another interview when she was asked if she might &#8220;go back in time to MMA.&#8221; She thought she was being asked about time travel, whereas the host clearly mean, &#8220;Might you, in time, go back to MMA?&#8221; rather than &#8220;Travel back in time and fight in MMA.&#8221; It&#8217;s funny, but also a bit revealing about Ronda&#8217;s personality and, in particular, her sensitivity to questions about MMA in general.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Well this is painfully awkward.
