Ronda Rousey prefers No. 1 pound-for-pound rank over "world's sexiest woman" title

UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has been called a sex symbol by some. She's been called the world's best pound-for-pound fighter by others.

Rousey will take the latter title over the former any day of the week.

In a segment which aired on Tuesday night's edition of HBO's Real Sports, Rousey was asked about her standing atop Sports Illustrated's pound-for-pound mixed martial arts rankings, a Top 10 list which included two women -- Rousey and UFC strawweight champion Joanna Ju0119drzejczyk (ranked No. 10) -- and eight men.

"It makes me feel way better than if someone told me I was pretty," Rousey said.
