A really nice gesture form Ronda Rousey.

The UFC star has pledged to leave her Championship belt in a Brazilian judo school.

Rousey is in the country, after defeating Bethe Correia at UFC 190 over the weekend, and has promised to leave her belt at Instituto Reação in Rio de Janeiro.

“Bethe (Correia) did have one thing right,” Rousey said.

“She said that the Brazilian people deserve to have the belt left here. So I’ve decided that after I win it, I’m going to make sure that when I have the belt, I don’t take it home with me.”

“I’m going to give it and make sure that it stays someplace in Brazil as my gift.”

According to MMA Fighting.com, that place is a judo school owned by Flavio Canto, an Olympic Bronze medallist.

Rosey also donated  $30,000 to the school back in March.
