Ronda Rousey\u2019s Mortal Kombat Sonya Blade cosplay brings the pain Warner BrosFormer UFC champion turned movie star Ronda Rousey partook in the charity event Kombat for a Kause by cosplaying as Mortal Kombat\u2019s dangerous US Special Forces officer Sonya Blade. In a video posted to Instagram, Ronda first shows up dressed up in casual attire consisting of a straw hat, jean shorts and brown boots. However, once she tosses her hat at the camera, she reappears dressed completely differently. Without warning, metal music kicks in and the former WWE and UFC champion is dressed as Sonya Blade. The outfit in general is pretty snazzy with camo pants, black army boots, dog tags around her neck and a vest supposedly full of high-tech gadgets. If that wasn\u2019t enough, with the use of some special effects, she even fires lasers from her arm-mounted weapon. Ronda credited costume creator Alicia Marie for the outfit and noted that even her messy room was supposed to be part of the cosplay. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B_c5L7aHPjh\/ \u201cAnd yes, the crumpled up pink panties on the floor are part of the cosplay,\u201d she explained. \u201cThis is how I imagine Sonya\u2019s room actually looks, she leaves cotton panties like bread crumbs around her house like I do.\u201d Sonya Blade was the first female Mortal Kombat character introduced in the series and has since become one of its most famous fighters. Amusingly, both Rousey and Blade pack armbar submissions in their arsenals, with Ronda winning numerous UFC matches thanks to the maneuver, so it\u2019s really no wonder she would be a fit to dress as Blade. \u201c@MattSaccaro: @RondaRousey Are you really a moderator on a pokemon forum?\u201dI moderated the pokemon stadium 2 forum on gametalk.com as mew182 \u2014 Ronda Rousey (@RondaRousey) January 9, 2012 Additionally, she ended up voicing Sonya in Mortal Kombat 11. \u201cI\u2019ve always admired her, and admittedly kind of emulated her in my own way. Now, I get to try to be her,\u201d she revealed. Rousey\u2019s geek side has been well-documented. When she was only 16-years-old, she was a moderator on the now-defunct website Gametalk where she looked after the Pokemon Stadium 2 section. In February 2020, the athlete signed an exclusive streaming deal with Facebook Gaming joining the likes of Super Smash Bros star Gonzalo \u2018ZeRo\u2019 Barrios and Jeremy \u2018Disguised Toast\u2019 Wang on the platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
