The Ronda Rousey takeover continues.

The UFC women's bantamweight champion is set to guest host "SportsCenter" on Wednesday at 6 p.m. ET with Lindsay Czarniak, according to an ESPN press release obtained by MMAFighting.com.

That'll make Rousey the first female athlete to guest host the show.

"I'm excited to co-host SportsCenter with Lindsay on Wednesday," Rousey said in the release. "I've always appreciated the support ESPN has shown me and I'm honored to be the first female celebrity co-host!"

The 28-year-old is preparing to defend her title against Holly Holm at UFC 193 on Nov. 15 in Melbourne, Australia.
