UFC Quick Quote: Ronda Rousey lost weight on the Pokemon diet

"I got the trading cards first. Then I got the video game on Gameboy Color. My first one was Pokemon blue, and my first Pokemon was Charmander. I got immediately hooked. I lost a bunch of weight and I was a small kid. I wouldn't stop playing. I just had a stack of milk and graham crackers next to me because I wouldn't get up. I'll just have a cracker and keep playing. I've got every single version of every generation of the game. When Blue came out, I didn't just wait for Silver. I got Blue, I beat Blue. I got Red, I beat Red. I got Yellow, I beat Yellow. And when Gold and Silver and Platinum came out, I got all three of those and beat those. The first game I got, just on that one cartridge, had 200 hours on it. I've done every single version and every single Pokemon since. The White, the Black, X, Y, Pokemon Stadium, Pokemon Stadium 2. The only ones I didn't play was Pokemon pinball, and that kind of bullshit."

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey (via MMA Fighting) reveals her secret weight-loss formula for video game junkies around the world: Eat graham crackers, drink milk, and play Pokemon. I actually had Pokemon Stadium for Nintendo 64 but only played it for like two minutes, because for every second I was playing Pokemon, I wasn't playing Goldeneye. Maybe that explains why I didn't lose any weight! Anyway, "Rowdy" is expected to get back into the Octagon later this year and go full Super Smash Bros. on whoever UFC matchmakers deem worthy of a crack at the crown. Bethe Correia? Winner of Cat Zingano vs. Amanda Nunes? Gina Carano? Time will tell.
