The WWE’s Ronda Rousey will voice Sonya Blade in the upcoming Mortal Kombat 11, NetherRealm today confirmed.

In a trailer announcing the news, Rousey said she was a long-time fan of the Mortal Kombat franchise, and has even tried to mould her own career after that of the fictional Blade.

Considering Rousey’s an Olympic medalist and champion inside both the UFC and the WWE, we’d say she’s had a pretty good run so far. What’s next?
