MMA superstar Ronda Rousey is promoting her Nov. 14 UFC fight against Holly Holm in different ways, including discussing her political beliefs.
In an interview with Maxim, Rousey talks about her voting opinions and voiced her thoughts on this year's candidates. She then said who she will vote for when the time comes.

"I’m voting for Bernie Sanders, because he doesn’t take any corporate money," Rousey told Maxim. "I don’t think politicians should be allowed to take money for their campaigns from outside interests.
"If he doesn’t win against Hillary, then I’ll probably vote for a third party again. To be honest, in 2012 I was against both candidates and so I just picked any third party because I thought if more people voted for third parties then they’d have to take third parties seriously."
Rousey isn't just bluffing about voting for a third party candidate. She claims she voted for former actress Roseanne Barr who ran in the "Green Tea Party" during the 2012 election. Barr finished with 50,000 votes nationwide and placed sixth overall in the election.
"I voted for Roseanne last time," Rousey said. "Mostly I went in to vote for all the state and local things. I was so unimpressed with the whole presidential campaign that I picked whatever third party I saw, and I saw Roseanne and thought, 'That’s awesome.' But I’m really pulling for Sanders this time. I hope it works out."
