Former UFC Womenās Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey hasnāt been seen much since getting mź¦auled in just 48ā seconds by current champion Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 this past December.
However, the former champion has now surfaced in a non-MMA fashion, as she has šÆjoined the protest against the proposed drilling of the the Dakota & Keystone XL oil pipelines, a protest that hasź¦æ been going on for quite some time now.
According to activist leader Linda Black Elk, Rousey not only showed her support, she brought the protestors somše supplies as well.
āWhen youāre in camp, itās very difficult to access fresh food, like fresh fruits and vegetables, especially when youāre on the frozen prairies of the northern Great Plains,ā Black Elk told . āItās very difficult to access those things and she brought a ton of fruits and vegetables, fresh bread, fresh cheese. Just absolutely amazing. Sheās an incredible person and just so humble. She wasn't asking for any publicity and when I talked to her about that, she basically said that she felt like a disappointment. She just felt that everyone was really upset with her. I couldnāt believe I was doing it, but it was very important for me to let her know just how important she is to the native community in particular. Thatās what keeps us going, that kind of support and just the morale booster it was. Thatās what keeps us going. It means everything to us.ā
This past Tuesday (1/24), United Staź¦ŗtes President Donald Trump signed an executive order, wš ŗhich would clear the way for the drilling of the pipelines to begin.
One of the people protesting the drilling of the pipelines, knš own as Jay R on Twitter, posted the followinš²g picture of the former womenās bantamweight champion joining the protest.

Rousey and President Trump areš·nāt exactly on the best of terms either, as Trump posted the following on Twitter after Rousey lost her womenās bantamweight title to š„Holly Holm at UFC 193 in November of 2015.
Glad to see that lost her championship figš½ht last night. Was soundly beaten - not a nice person!
