Ronda Rousey signs exclusive autographed memorabilia deal with Fanatics Authentic
By Ryan Cracknell | Hobby Editor
Even after her first loss, Ronda Rousey remains one of the biggest names in UFC today. Now she joins the stable of Fanatic Authentic exclusives, signing a deal with the company for collectibles and autographed memorabilia.
Fanatic Authentic already has a range of Rousey pieces available on their website. They range from framed photos to autographed Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition covers to custom display pieces with her signature and fight mat swatches.
On the high-end side is the tank top Rousey wore when she took care of Bethe Correia quickly at UFC 190.
“We’re really excited to partner with Ronda and create a collection of unique UFC memorabilia that caters to her widespread fan base,” said Ross Tannenbaum, President of Fanatics Authentic in a press release.
It’s worth noting that Rousey’s deal with Fanatics does not impact trading cards. She’s still able to appear in Topps UFC products as she always has.
Other Fanatics Authentic exclusive athletes include Stephen Curry, Peyton Manning, Connor McGregor and Kris Bryant.

Well, seeing as it will now take her a year and 2 more fights to maybe be the champ again, I’m not that all sure her stuff will be relevant/worth anything anymore. The DNB Mantra is going to the side like the Spice Girls “Girl Power” slogan of the 90’s did. Maybe her ‘Window” has passed and frankly she seems more focused on the movies, commercial side of entertainment. It took her 7-8 fights to become well known and she doesn’t have 3 years of fight time left.. I think. or does she….
Having her entire tank top puts this at a level unimaginably beyond swatch cards. That’s a different world from what normal people like me have been calling “memorabilia” for a long time. Great job, Fanatics Authentic!
