I don’t think they are that expensive, though, but that’s what I want. I am a woman of simple tastes,” Rousey said, explaining to USA Today that her yard is pretty small. “I don’t really have many plants except for I have ordered grass to come in so the dog can pee on it.” Rousey’s right: vertical gardens aren’t that expensive. This [sturdy-looking wood version](http://www.amazon.com/Gronomics-VG3245-Vertical-Planter-32-Inch/dp/B009EQF7EU/ref=sr%5F1%5F4?ie=UTF8&qid=1447433376&sr=8-4&keywords=vertical+garden "undefined") is $186.64 on Amazon, and since Prime shipping is included, Rousey could purchase over 53,000 of them with her winnings. The MMA star been speaking confidently about her fight against Holm for weeks. “What makes me so confident is that I’m the greatest fighter in the world,” she explained [when she discussed](http://espn.go.com/mma/story/%5F/id/13668242/ronda-rousey-fighting-words-holly-holm-prior-ufc-193 "undefined") her impending win at a promotional event in September. \[[_USA TODAY_](http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ufc/2015/11/12/ronda-rousey-ufc-193-victory-gift-holly-holm/75681458/ "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4111753/ronda-rousey-holly-holm-ufc-193-championship-mma-money/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4111753/ronda-rousey-holly-holm-ufc-193-championship-mma-money/"},"headline":"Ronda Rousey's Plans for How to Spend Her Fight Money Are Not What You'd Expect","datePublished":"2015-11-13T17:31:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T12:35:54.422Z","description":"\"I am a woman of simple tastes\"","url":"https://time.com/4111753/ronda-rousey-holly-holm-ufc-193-championship-mma-money/","keywords":["Ronda Rousey"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb35be4a82e07cc02/698870f0cd1bba01b96fe196/rhonda-rousey.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Julia Zorthian","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/julia-zorthian/"}],"articleSection":"Sports","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb35be4a82e07cc02/698870f0cd1bba01b96fe196/rhonda-rousey.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Ronda Rousey Media Day","caption":"Ronda Rousey Media Day","creditText":"Brandon Magnus—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/sports/","name":"Sports"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/ronda-rousey/","name":"Ronda Rousey"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4111753/ronda-rousey-holly-holm-ufc-193-championship-mma-money/","name":"Ronda Rousey's Plans for How to Spend Her Fight Money Are Not What You'd Expect"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Ronda Rousey Fights Bethe Correia At UFC 190","description":"Ronda Rousey Fights Bethe Correia At UFC 190","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/zJhkTwVI/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-08-02T18:04:27.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/zJhkTwVI.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4111753/ronda-rousey-holly-holm-ufc-193-championship-mma-money/","duration":"PT41S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4111753/ronda-rousey-holly-holm-ufc-193-championship-mma-money/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
