UFC champion Ronda Rousey is the latest Carl's Jr. ambassadress. Although she appeared in a new commercial eating a sandwich, it looked as if she actually loved chomping away on it as opposed to being strangely sexually attracted to it.
The fast-food chain has featured a few celebrities, including Paris Hilton, Kate Upton and Kim Kardashian in the past. And though Charlotte McKinney currently stars in the ads, it appears UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey will become the new face of the campaign. The company officials confirmed the plans of Rousey joining their team through Twitter and with Eater.com. They announced, "Congrats on another big win, @RondaRousey. Can't wait to introduce people to your sweet side in 30 days."
The UFC Bantamweight champion starred in the advertisement for Carl's Jr. fast- food chain's latest menu item, the Cinnamon Swirl French Toast Breakfast Sandwich. Cosmopolitan reported that just like every other Carl's Jr. commercials, Rousey takes a trademark bite of the sandwich. But unlike any other stars, she kept the vibe of the commercial from a mere food commercial into a super-sexual sandwich ad that Carl's Jr. is well- known for.
MmaJunkie also mentioned that it's an interesting move for Rousey, especially that she's known as a UFC fighter. In fact, prior to this past Saturday's UFC 190 event, where Rousey tattered Bethe Correia in the pay-per-view headliner, then she took aim at critics of her "masculine" body. The comments were part of the second episode of "UFC 190 Embedded". The UFC fighter stated, "Listen, just because my body was developed for a purpose other than f-cking millionaires doesn't mean it's masculine," she said. "I think it's femininely badass because there's not a single muscle on my body that isn't for a purpose, because I'm not a do-nothing b---h."
For the moment, the terms of her commercial deal were still not yet disclosed, but the TV spots are expected to be released in the upcoming weeks. And now, the UFC fighter's interesting move in her career, caused her fans to adore her even more especially since Rousey has been known for her UFC fighter skills. Her supporters are also excited that "Rowdy" has another endoresment that will hopefully move her higher up on Forbes' highest-paid athletes list next year.
