TheMortal Kombatseries has traditionally been rich with colorful fighters that have interesting backstories, andMortal Kombat11is no different. Sonya Blade is one of those fighters, who was recently cosplayed by her voice actress,Ronda Rousey.

Although first dressed up in a hat with a gray shirt and shorts, which are both contrary to Sonya Blade’s image, Rousey then throws the hat at the camera. The video then cuts to Rousey dressed up as herMortal Kombat 11character. She blasts pink projectiles using video effects and then pretends to punch the camera.
The video is very light-hearted and shows a side of Rousey that she’s been more willing to show in recent years. However, even though she is dressed up as the character she voiced, hervoice acting of Sonya Bladehad been a point of criticism uponMortal Kombat 11’s initial release. Not only was the voice acting performance deemed a poor one but people had also been upset at the casting for past perceived transphobic comments she had made regarding a transgender MMA fighter.
Despite Rousey’s criticized performance as Sonya Blade inMortal Kombat 11, it is still widely considered a very good entry in the series. The game is the standard iteration now used forMortal Kombattournamentsand may well be a high point for the series, whose past few installments have been well-received.
With all of this said,Mortal Kombat 11’s roster may not be entirely filled out yet. A variety of rumors suggest that there are numerous additional fighters to come, among which may beRoboCop. This would be the second 80s pop culture icon to make it into the game, given thatThe Terminator’s T-800 is available to play as in the game. However,The Evil Dead’s Ash Williams may not be coming to the game after a long series of rumor to the likely dismay of many.
Mortal Kombat 11is currently available on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Stadia.
