Ronda Rousey is known for her tenacious performances in the ring, but she has shown her glamorous side at a media event in Melbourne.

The 28-year-old UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion was pictured sporting heels and a glamorous leather jacket as she spoke for a huge crowd at Melbourne’s Etihad Stadium.

Rousey’s fashionable outfit comes in the wake of cruel online bully’s accusing her of being 'too masculine' in the lead up to her bantamweight title defence match last month.

Cruel online bully’s labelled her as ‘disgustingly manly’ and ‘too muscular,’ prompting her to hit back at the body shamers in an online video series.

On vlog series UFC 190 Embedded, Rousey said: 'Listen, just because my body was developed for a purpose other than f***ing millionaires doesn’t mean it’s masculine.'

But the undefeated UFC superstar was looking anything but manly at the promotional event on Wednesday.

Rousey is in Australia to promote her upcoming seventh world title defence fight with American Holly Holm.
