There's just the body paint swimsuits to talk about then? UFC star Ronda Rousey grants Australian journalist Mike Amor an interview - but BANS questions about fighting

Ronda Rousey may be the most famous fighter on the planet, but she does not want to talk about the job she gets paid millions of dollars a match for.

Taking her cue from the first rule of Fight Club (you don't talk about Fight Club), the 29-year-old UFC star was in no mood to discuss what she gets paid millions of dollars to do when Channel 7 reporter Mike Amor flew to Vancouver to interview her.

Rousey, who suffered a shock defeat in Melbourne when fighting Holly Holm at the Etihad Stadium last November, was filming an EA Sports video game and agreed to speak to the media.

But moments before sitting down, she sent her PR representative to make sure Amor knew any questions about fighting were off the agenda.

And the Australian journalist was warned she would walk out if he broke the rules and tried to discuss fights with the fighter.

'If you ask those questions, the interview is done,” the PR rep is heard saying on a clip filmed by Channel 7 just moments before Rousey sat down to talk.

Amor was suitably incredulous, replying: 'She’s a fighter! That’s like asking me to do a story about basketball and not asking about basketball.'

Understandably, Amor's final on-air report was scathing about the demands from Rousey and her people.

The 29-year-old American is the most famous female fighter in the world, with more than 2.2m followers on Twitter and becoming the first female athlete to guest host ESPN's SportsCenter in 2015.

Channel 7 reporter Mike Amor had flown to Vancouver to conduct a sit-down chat with Rousey. Moments before the interview he was told by her PR manager he was not allowed to ask any fight questions

'As a fighter, Ronda Rousey is good at forcefully bending people’s arms,' he said over a clip of the Californian pinning him on the ground.

'But it was her PR people bending ours just moments before our interview. No questions about fighting, or she would walk out.'

Rousey is a regular on American chat shows, often talking about a wide range of subjects. In this appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon she even predicted she might be beaten by Holm via a head-kick

Rousey is no stranger to publicity, posing here for a photo at the London NYC Hotel in New York in 2015. She was also the first woman featured on the cover of Australian Men's Fitness.

It's not the first time Rousey has dictated the terms of an interview.

In November she was conducting a conference call for the media when she was asked about her boyfriend Travis Browne, who had been accused of domestic violence by his ex-wife. At that exact moment the line went silent, with Rousey later claiming, 'My phone died'.
