Former UFC champ Ronda Rousey embraces imperfection in new Reebok ad — VIDEO

Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey often said her top career goal was to retire undefeated.

Then UFC 193 happened.

Holly Holm landed a head kick to knock out Rousey and shatter that dream in November 2015.

Rousey has yet to fight again, but a Reebok commercial released online Tuesday indicates she may be ready to embrace a comeback story.

“Here’s the thing about being perfect,” she says in the ad. “Perfect never gets truly tested. Pefect never gets to silence its critics. Perfect never gets a shot at redemption.

“So yeah, I’m fine not being perfect.”

UFC president Dana White has said Rousey will get a title shot against whoever holds the belt when she decides to fight again.

Holm lost the belt to Miesha Tate in March and Amanda Nunes took it from Tate on Saturday.

Rousey has given no timetable for a potential return.
