UFC pioneer Ronda Rousey wants to add boxing and WWE championships to her unique trophy cabinet.

Rousey's emergence as the first female champion of the UFC, the world's biggest MMA promotion, came after she achieved an Olympic bronze medal in judo.

Accolades in two sports are not enough, she has insisted, and she will aim to earn titles in boxing, WWE plus a Brazilian martial art that is fundamental to her UFC skill-set.

I think if anybody's capable, I think that I am.

"What I would love to do; I've got an Olympic medal, I would want to retire from MMA as one of the greatest of all time," she said.

"I would love to have the chance to be the boxing world champion, and I would love to have the chance to be a jiu-jitsu world champion. I'd love to have the chance to be the Divas world champion and just be the best of everything at one point."

Rousey appeared alongside WWE legend The Rock at WrestleMania last year, and nine MMA victories via submission has demonstrated her jiu-jitsu abilities.

Although she has never competed in boxing, Rousey will defend her UFC gold in November against Holly Holm - a distinguished former pro boxer.

When her UFC work is complete, Rousey insists she will set about dominating other sports.

"How that is possible to do, I'm going to have to figure that out," she said. "But I am trying to figure that out. I think if anybody's capable, I think that I am.

"I think it's just a matter of prioritising and timing and figuring out when I can do which. I'd love to, but it's a process."
