Ronda Rousey and Victor Ortiz Enlist for The Expendables 3

[HamAndEgger]

Following news earlier today of The Twilight Saga's Kellan Lutz joining the cast of The Expendables 3, comes word, via Sylvester Stallone's Twitter feed, that mixed martial artist Ronda Rousey and welterweight boxer Victor Ortiz will be joining the ensemble as well.

In addition to Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jason Statham have been confirmed for the project, which is slated to begin shooting next month in Los Angeles. Jackie Chan, Wesley Snipes, Nicolas Cage and Milla Jovovich are also rumored to be in advanced negotiations to join the cast as well.

The Expendables 3 will mark the acting debut of both Rousey and Ortiz. The former is the first American woman to have ever taken home an Olympic medal for Judo (a bronze in the 2008 summer games in Beijing) while the latter emerged as WBC's welterweight champion in 2011. He also recently appeared on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."

The Expendables 3 will be directed by Patrick Hughes and will arrive in theaters on August 15, 2014.

Ronda Rousey will show championship form in Expendables 3! So will multi hampion Victor Ortiz

I guess Stallone didnt get the memo that CyGoat is the toughest female on the planet...smh @ throwing Gina in the bush for Rousey..Ronda armbars Stallone and then the credits roll

I wonder how Dana will feel about this, ...I remember he was funny about Rampage doing A-Team, he invested alot into Ronda and imo hasn't got a return on his investment yet and she is already moving on to movies lol - we may get the co-main event at UFC changed to Rousey vs Cyborg

I remember Ronda saying she didnt want to do movies and MMA it was one or the other...Maybe she is choosing movies now because the chances of her not fighting Cris are becoming very slim

Gina Carano was easily the worst part of FF6. Probably the only thing.

Shes only had one ppv and thaat did better numbers than most bendo,edgar or post lw division headlined cards.Besides i think dana knows what hes got with her, at this point shes basically a walkin talkin blonde advert for ufc.Every time she appears on shows shes selling herself and the brand

gina carano wasn't bad at all in FF6..her lack of acting talent was easily overshadowed that she had some good ass fights in that movie...that haywire movie though...nah
