'World of Warcraft' Expansion Legion Adds Ronda Rousey as NPC

Blizzard is giving Ronda Rousey more reasons to enjoy "World of Warcraft" while waiting for a rematch with Holly Holm.

According to GameSpot, Blizzard is paying tribute to the world's greatest female athlete by featuring a human Monk named Rhonda as one of the Easter eggs in its upcoming expansion for "World of Warcraft: Legion." In the game, Rhonda won't be fighting in an octagon, instead she will be an NPC in a training area. In a video shared by Kotaku, Rhonda, Master of San Soo, is shown in her exact location in Legion, demonstrating spin attacks with an enormous melee weapon. "Legion" is expected to be released in 2016.

The "World of Warcraft" video also features Mina Kunis a.k.a. Mila Kunis, a character already added earlier. According to Kotaku, Mila Kunis will be moved to a different location in Legion. The Hollywood star is also known to be a WoW player.

If Ronda isn't training or fighting, she could be playing "World of Warcraft." In an August 2015 Reddit AMA, Rousey has revealed that she is an active "World of Warcraft" player who plays as a Night Elf Hunter. Occasionally, she said, she is also working on a Blood Elf Rogue. Aside from WoW, she aslo enjoys "Pokemon." According to GameSpot, she used to moderate a "Pokemon" forum.

It was a shocking moment when Ronda Rousey fell in the hands of Holly Holm on UFC 193. According to The Sydney Morning Herald, when Holly Holm took the title from Ronda Rousey, it became the "greatest upset in UFC history" at Etihad Stadium. The fallen champion had to be rushed to the hospital after getting knocked out in the second round. She admitted to feeling "depressed" as she suffers the first loss in her career. Holm agreed to a rematch.

But while Ronda waits for a rematch to reclaim glory, she already is a winner for being immortalized as a monk in "World of Warcraft." Watch the video from Blizzplanet below.
