Former UFC champion Ronda Rousey reigned supreme in every combat sport she competed in. While the current WWE star is the epitome of hard work and a pioneer of women’s combat sports, she had her own fair share of struggles and mishaps. Furthermore, her adherence to the strict training regime and her ambitious approach also resulted in a mismatch in her private and professional life. Notably, one such particular incident dates back to the time when her relationship with her boyfriend went sour after fear of contracting an STD engulfed her.

The incident followed after ‘Rowdy’ left her friend Lillie’s house due to an ultimatum failure and was residing at her club. However, she found it hard to adjust to her coach, Jason Morris’s place. But, things changed for good when her then-boyfriend, Dick IttyBitty, came back to New York to train at the club.
Ronda Rousey and her STD scar
The 36-year-old admitted that her relationship with other housemates, though cordial, wasn’t warm. The only girl nice to her was Bee. Further, the famed judoka mentioned she shared the living room futon with her then-boyfriend. Additionally, her then-boyfriend became a bridge between her and other athletes in the place.

After a month, a call from the hospital ended up becoming a nightmare for her. The nurse revealed that her tests came back abnormal as she planned to get birth control.
The Hollywood actor asked in a concerned manner, “Are you telling me I have an STD?”
The nurse, instead of giving rest to her fears, told her it could mean a number of things. Following this, the former Olympian again inquired, “Like an STD?”
After hanging up the phone, she barged straight into her then-boyfriend’s room.
