This year, watch out as MMA champion Ronda Rousey and legendary Bear Grylls battle it out with the world’s deadliest predators.
In Uncaged: Shark vs Ronda Rousey, Olympian, MMA champion and current WWE Superstar Ronda Rousey is trained by shark conservationist and shark attack survivor, Paul de Gelder, to face her fiercest opponent yet: the fastest, bitiest shark in the world, and the ultimate fighter of the sea, the Mako shark. First, Rousey, in a cage, dives into the ring with several lightweight shark species in the waters off Fiji and then moves onto the main event in New Zealand where she’ll “free dive uncaged” with the heavyweight Mako shark. Ronda is out to prove that harnessing the fighting spirit can let anyone confront their greatest fears and be victorious in the face of those doubts.
