Ronda Rousey Punches 'Expendables 3' Director & Breaks His Rib! Is She Kicked Off Movie Sequel?

Following the lead of former UFC champ Gina Carano, Ronda Rousey is making a big impression in her first appearance on film.

According to Yahoo! Sports, the UFC women's division champion punched director Patrick Hugh and broke one of his ribs in the process.

The incident happened when Ronda was doing her first scene in the movie "Expendables 3". The scene was with Sylvester Stallone in a bar where Rousey worked as a bouncer and would beat up several male troublemakers.

Hughes said, "I remember the first thing we shot with Ronda, I actually got beaten up. Ronda's first time ever on camera was the scene with Sly [Sylvester Stallione] at a bar, and she's really super-nervous. I went up and said, 'Well, what do you do before a big fight? And she says, 'I like to spar in my room. I get that nervous energy out.' And I said, 'So you need to hit something? Let's find something to hit.' And she said, 'But I want to hit you.'"

According to International Business Times, the director also noted, "She was like, 'Put your arms up.' And I'm thinking, 'Ronda's just going to do this.' I put my hands up, and she goes wham! Next day, I was getting dressed and my kids were there at the time -€my 7-year-old daughter said 'What's that?' And I had this huge black mark. I had a broken rib. And I said, 'I got beaten up by an actress.'"

Fox Sports reports that Ronda denied that she caused any serious damage. She said, "He didn't have a broken rib! I didn't hit anything hard."

Ronda was initially nervous about entering the movie industry but felt right at home after being warmly welcomed by male members of the cast. She talked about her adjustment on set, "I thought I was going to be like the new kid at the school when I walk into the cafeteria and everyone's like, 'You can't sit here!' That's what I thought I was walking into. And they'll probably go, like, 'This chick? She's not even an actress. She's not even a guy,' or something. I don't know what I was expecting. I was expecting the worst. And yeah, I felt a little like the Downy teddy bear when I actually showed up. Everybody was just so welcoming and warm."

She concluded, "Everyone really, I felt, went out of their way to make me feel comfortable, and I couldn't have asked for a better first project to be on. And I've always been the one shaking it down with all the guys anyway. I would have felt more uncomfortable if I were in 'Sex and the City 4.' So I'm really happy."
