During a Reddit AMA back in August, Ronda Rousey admitted that she has been a huge fan of Pokemon since she was a kid.
Indeed, Rousey used to moderate an online Pokemon forum under the handle “mew182” (named after her favorite Pokemon).
“@MattSaccaro: @RondaRousey Are you really a moderator on a pokemon forum?”I moderated the pokemon stadium 2 forum on gametalk.com as mew182

So, it’s not entirely surprising (but still utterly delightful) to see this spot that Ronda recently filmed for ESPN which “reveals” her secret training method of dressing up in a Pikachu costume to exercise.
Dressing up in an extremely cumbersome Pikachu costume seems like an unorthodox training method but who are we to question Rousey’s routine?
