19. Rosie O’Donnell

Who would have thought that Rosie O’Donnell was a fan of MMA? If you watch her Twitter timeline during a big UFC event you’ll clearly see that not only is she devoted to the sport — but she understands it. O’Donnell is no casual fan.

O’Donnell hasn’t attended live shows lately, or at least she wasn’t photographed there, but there are images of her cheering on her favorite fighters at both UFC 128: Jon Jones vs. Shogun Rua and UFC 169: Renan Barao vs. Urijah Faber.

She’s been an outspoken super fan of Faber’s all the way back to his WEC days but now that Faber is retired she’s on the hunt for a new fighter to follow.

She even had Mike Tyson on her talk show and they talked their shared passion for MMA — adorable.
