The undefeated UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion said in an interview with Maxim that she is voting for Sanders "because he doesn’t take any corporate money."

"I don’t think politicians should be allowed to take money for their campaigns from outside interests,” Rousey said.

Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont, is running against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.

"If he doesn’t win against Hillary, then I’ll probably vote for a third party again,” Rousey said. "To be honest, in 2012 I was against both candidates and so I just picked any third party because I thought if more people voted for third parties then they’d have to take third parties seriously.”
