UFC superstar Ronda Rousey feels that fighting has an overall benefit for society.

The former champion sat down and filmed a clip for the upcoming movie “The Hurt Business,” where she discussed the role of UFC in sports and society. (SLIDESHOW: These Are The Sexiest Photos Of Ronda Rousey On The Internet)

She stated:

I think that ignorance in the sport is the only real barrier it has to overcome. I think that a lot of people that are ignorant of it think it promotes violence when it really is the most responsible outlet for it. It’s a human instinct to fight. If you try to suppress it entirely, and put everyone in a bubble-wrapped society, that’s when people start going nuts and shooting movie theaters. If any of those people that had all of that aggression built up in them had some sort of outlet, I think that we’d have a lot more societal health because of it.
