As noted previously on PWInsider.com, former UFC Bantamweight champion and current WWE star Ronda Rousey was in Fiji several weeks back filming material that would be used as part of the 30th Annual Shark Week on The Discovery Channel.
Rousey will star in a special titled Uncaged: Shark vs. Ronda Rousey.
Promotional material for Uncaged notes, "Olympian, MMA champion, and current WWE Superstar Ronda Rousey is trained by shark conservationist and shark attack survivor Paul De Gelder to face her fiercest opponent yet: the fastest, bitiest shark in the world, and the ultimate fighter of the sea, the mako shark. First, Rousey, in a cage dives into the ring with several lightweight shark species in the waters off Fiji and then moves onto the main event in New Zealand where she’ll ‘free dive uncaged’ with the heavyweight mako shark. Ronda is out to prove that harnessing the fighting spirit she has developed throughout her career, she and everyone watching, can confront their greatest fears and be victorious in the face of those doubts.”
Shark Week will air on Discovery the week of 7/22-7/29.
