All I care about is winning this f***ing fight... Ronda Rousey channels spirit of Batman for UFC 207 and blasts Conor McGregor for money obsession

Ronda Rousey had the world at her feet as the unstoppable force of women's sport before a brutal defeat to Holly Holm sent her into the wilderness.

That isn't a figure of speech. Rousey is gunning for redemption at UFC 207 by training in an isolated mountain community, away from the spotlight international stardom bestows.

Her defeat to Holm proved shattering and in an interview with ESPN Magazine she compared her 'ninja' state of recovery to that of an unexpected fictional inspiration.

The former bantamweight champion endured a remarkable fall from grace in Melbourne 

She said: 'It's like I'm doing the chick version of growing a beard and living in a cave, you know?

'You remember when Batman goes off to this ninja place, then time lapses and you see he's grown this beard? 

'My woman version of growing a beard was letting my highlights grow out and changing my number.'

Rousey is confident she can get back to winning ways and is training in relative isolation

Rousey was at the peak of her powers before Holm's devastating kick rendered her body unconscious and her status as the UFC's golden goose tarnished. 

But the former Olympic judoka refuses to allow her legacy to be remembered in such humiliating terms. 

'It's like a painter looking at what he made and knowing it's not done yet. You could get away with it. 

'You could sell that painting and it would sell. But you'll always know it was never as good as it could have been. I don't want 'Good enough' to be my legacy.
