Ronda Rousey signs three-movie deal with the Lifetime network

The former UFC women's bantamweight champion and pop culture phenom recently signed a three-movie contract with the Lifetime network, according to Deadline.com (h/t FOX Sports). Rousey's films will revolve around empowerment, the report said.

Also joining Lifetime's new team are Serena Williams and Janet Jackson. The network is attempting to steer away from the melodramas that have become a punchline over the years.

Rousey has been busy over the last few months, though she has not fought. Her movie and television deals are voluminous. Last week, Rousey was also named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people.
