UFC champ Ronda Rousey to star in film based on best-selling autobiography

Ronda Rousey needed just 34 seconds to finish off Bethe Correia at UFC 190 last weekend in Brazil (highlights) and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's bantamweight champion has already made the next move in her burgeoning film career.

Variety.com reports that Paramount Pictures has secured the rights to Rousey's autobiography "My Fight/Your fight," which was a New York Times best seller. Mark Bomback will be adapting the screenplay and Mary Parent will produce alongside Rousey, who is set to star in the film -- a desire of hers ever since the rights to the book were put on the market, according to the report.
