UFC female bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, 28, plans to call it a career before he reaches 31 and wants a fight with Cris "Cyborg" Justino to provide a sense of finality.
Rousey appeared on the "Joe Rogan Experience" podcast where she discussed her career plans including not wanting to fight in her "30s", reports ESPN.

She even went on to provide her interpretation of the term, saying that at 30 years old, she is not yet in her 30s because it needs to be at least 31 to make it "plural."
Rousey', who is based in Los Angeles, is gradually shifting towards makimg films and has appeared in some major Hollywood movies.
She is also scheduled to begin shooting the action film "Mile 22" in January and there are also plans for her to portray herself in a film.
However, the fight against Invicta featherweight champ Justino (14-1) is an unfinished business for Rousey.
Rousey is not willing to push through with the fight unless Justino drops down to the bantamweight limit of 135 pounds from her featherweight limit of 145.
Justino has expressed doubt she can make the bantamweight limit, although she previously stated that they would make the weight if a fight against Rousey will be booked for December.
Knowing the importance of beating Justino to feel more accomplished in her career, Rousey said that she is willing to wait a little longer for Justino to drop in weight.
Rousey added that Justino could make the weight if she stops using performance-enhancing drugs.
Justino tested positive for anabolic steroids in 2011 and was meted with a one-year suspension.
Whil Justino has passed all random drug tests after that, Rousey remains unconvinced she's off PEDs due to her physical appearance.
Meanwhile, MMA Fighting reported that UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson disgarees having to make Justino go down to 135 pounds.
Johnson said that Justino would then be too drained to give her usual Cyborg performance against Rousey.
He even called the public pressure for Justino to go down in weight as "garbage".
