Ronda Rousey may have endured quite the beating at the hands of Holly Holm at UFC 193, but Hollywood has never stopped treating her like a star. According to Deadline.com, a pitch has been made to Universal Pictures for a comedy entitled "Do Nothing Bitches" starring Ronda Rousey alongside Tina Fey. The article was then plugged by Rousey on Twitter:

"The logline is being kept under wraps," said Deadline.com's Mike Fleming Jr., "but I hear it is a female-empowerment tale dealing with wealthy pampered wives who get a rude awakening at a camp where Rousey plays the no-nonsense instructor."
The story is a play off of Rousey's famous (and infamous) video where she discusses the criticisms she has received regarding her body being "masculine," a notion Rousey shrugs off. While opinions on Rousey's words have been mixed, with some heralding her as a body-image pioneer and others claiming the exact opposite, the "Do Nothing Bitch" term has become a legitimate pop-culture phenomenon, with Rousey trademarking the catchphrase to maximize apparel sales, while Beyonce incorporates the audio (Warning: NSFW language) into her act.

Before Rousey (and Fey) fans get too excited, however, it's worth mentioning that Universal receiving a pitch does not necessarily mean this idea will come to fruition at any point in the near future, if ever. That said, people desperate to see the former UFC champ back in the spotlight can look forward to her appearance on the Jan. 23 edition of Saturday Night Live, and her upcoming film Roadhouse.
Fight fans? Well...they might want to start getting used to seeing her on set, instead of in the Octagon.
