Ronda Rousey Reebok Commercial, UFC Sues Wanderlei Silva, Rousey - Correia Media Conference Call

- UFC 190 headliner Ronda Rousey is starring in a brand new Reebok commercial, that also features NFL star JJ Watt. The commercial, for Reebok's ZPump Fusion, shows Rousey hitting heavy bags and training in the gym, as Watt is on the practice field.

Reebok had previously run commercials with former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon "Bones" Jones. His legal issues stemming from a hit and run accident led to Reebok dropping his sponsorship, and the commercials as well. You can see Rousey's new commercial above.

- According to Bloody Elbow, UFC has filed a lawsuit against currently contracted (and lifetime suspended) star Wanderlei Silva in a Nevada court. The UFC is suing on the basis of intentional misconduct, likely stemming from the fighter accusing the UFC of fixing fights.

- The UFC held a media conference call this week to promote their big UFC 190 show, which features UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey taking on undefeated challenger Bethe Correia. Also on the card will be Shogun Rua, both Noguiera twins, Stefan Struve, as well as a likely number one contender's bout for the UFC Women's Strawweight Championship between Jessica Aguilar and Claudia Gadelha.

Wrestling Inc will have full, live coverage of the pay-per-view this Saturday, starting with quick results of the preliminary bouts at 7 pm eastern. You can hear the full, hour long UFC 190 media conference call audio below.
