The American martial artist Ronda Rousey, who is being massively trolled and called "masculine", has thrashed her body shamers by stating that it's because of her job to she ought to keep her body strong.

Rousey recently won Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) title by knocking her opponent out in 34 seconds.

The 28-year-old professional fighter found her trolls "hilarious" and stated in a recent interview that her body isn't masculine, it's just rightly structured and is strong enough to knockout her competitors in the ring, Stuff.co.nz reported.

Rather calling it "muscly" it's better to call it "femininely badass as f-king," she added.

The 'Furious 7' actress, who is also compared with Mike Tyson due to her dominance in ring, was supported by Tyson himself who quoted, "She has that killer aura, meaning anything is capable of happening. Whoa! That's exciting before the fight even starts. I think of myself when I watch her.
