Body-shamers beware! You better be running for cover because "undefeated fighter" Ronda Rousey is coming for you.

In a recent interview, the 28-year-old martial artist opened up about her struggle with body images and said that she will kill anyone if they called her fat one more time, E! Online reports.

The martial artist, who is known for representing her body confidence, further said that now she has learned to accept her body.

Talking about her figure, she revealed that she used to wear zip-up jackets as she was afraid to show her big arms.

However, Rousey attitude towards her body got completely changed when she grabbed the title of the one of the greatest athletes in the world.

While referencing her nude cover for ESPN the Magazine, she added "If I can represent that body type of women that isn't represented so much in media, then I'd be happy to do that."

It is said that Rousey, who made headlines as the first female to cover Australia's Men's Fitness magazine, was continuously subjected to the pressure of weight loss in the industry.
