If Ronda Rousey decides to never step foot inside the octagon, then she's been offered a spot in Lingerie Fighting Championships (LFC).
What is the LFC? Well, it's an lingerie MMA league where they dress-up badass women for the bedroom as they watch them compete - I guess you can say that - against each other. And they are ready to pursue the services of the former UFC bantamweight champion. Rousey hasn't fought since losing her title in brutal fashion by Holly Holm at UFC 193.
To get you more familiarised with their concept, here's a commercial for their aptly named 'Naughty 'n Nice' event. (NSFW)
Since the defeat she's been through the ringer with injuries and surgeries holding up her UFC return. But whats being described as a "long shot" by CEO Shaun Donnelly, he still wants to extend the invitation. Official press release:

Lingerie Fighting Championships, Inc. ("LFC") (OTCQB:BOTY) announced today that it will pursue Ronda Rousey in the event she retires from the UFC.
"Ronda Rousey has long been at the very top of our wish list," said Shaun Donnelly, LFC's Chief Executive Officer. "Not only is she one of the top fighters of all time, she is also a very beautiful woman who isn't afraid to show off her sexy side."
LFC has never made an offer to any fighter already under contract with another league but recent rumors that Rousey plans to retire if she loses a rematch to Holly Holm has changed the landscape.
"We have reason to believe that Ms. Rousey might seriously consider a role with Lingerie Fighting Championships, either as a competitor or an ambassador," Donnelly says. "She has been critical in the past at how little female fighters are paid and LFC has always shown a real commitment to paying our fighters very well."
Previous LFC events have boasted purses in excess of $15,000 and while Donnelly acknowledges this is a very small sum compared to what Rousey earns with the UFC, it is anticipated the publicly traded company might make an offer that combines purse with shares of the company.
"It's still a long shot at this point," Donnelly admits. "For one thing, I don't believe Rousey will lose to Holm a second time. She's an exceptional fighter and she's going to have a long time to prepare. I wouldn't bet against her under those circumstances."
In the meantime, Lingerie Fighting Championships 21: Naughty 'n Nice will air on more than 1000 cable / satellite systems and networks worldwide on August 12 @ 10pm ET / 7pm PT. Check your local cable listings.
Great press release or the greatest press release?!
