From "SportsCenter" to "The Tonight Show," Ronda Rousey has been popping up everywhere leading up to Saturday's fight against Holly Holm at UFC 193. But according to Rousey's comments in an interview with Rolling Stone, it may be a bit harder to find her after the fight.

"I'm selling a product and I have to be out there; I don't have the option not to be," Rousey said. "But after this fight, I'm definitely going to let some people miss me, for sure. Believe me, there's nothing I would like to do more than disappear for a while."

"I have to be out there to sell these fights; it's not because I really enjoy getting made up and going to work every day," Rousey says. "It's cool, it's an awesome job, but it's still a job. I'm doing it because it helps me make a living and not because I'm so extremely vain that I want to see my face everywhere."

Saturday's fight at UFC 193 will mark Rousey's third title defense in nine months. She said she doesn't plan on fighting again until the UFC 200 pay-per-view at the new Las Vegas Arena on July 9, 2016. 

In the meantime, Rousey said she'll be busy filming movies. She's slated to star in the remake of the 1989 cult classic "Road House" and the Mark Wahlberg action film "Mile 22."
