Demi Lovato has been taking her workouts to the next level. Even her Future Now tour partner Nick Jonas recently said, “Demi is killing it right now with her fitness game.” Lovato is not just jumping on the elliptical, taking barre class, or pilates. The pop star is kicking some butt in self-defense classes and lifting colossal weights. She’s looking so unbelievable strong lately that it makes us wonder if is she’s looking to try out a new career with the UFC. Should Ronda Rousey be taking note of Lovato’s physical gains?

If pairing the superstar fighter and the former Disney actress in the same sentence seems odd, know that two women have more in common than you think. Aside from both being being honored as “Saturday Night Live” hosts this past year, they each campaign to champion strong and healthy figures over skinny bodies, post inspiring female empowered messages on their Instagram accounts and can both be seen proudly posing on the cover of numerous magazines.

On Friday (May 6), Lovato posted this video of herself punching the carcass out of a dummy’s nut sack. Using her elbow, and fully committed to making sure this fictional attacker may never pee normally again, she uses her entire body to really get after it.
Ronda Rousey, who’s 29 years old, 5’7 and 135 pounds, might want to keep an eye on the petite yet fiercely pumped up 24-year-old “Confident” singer. Rousey has dipped into the acting world in movies such as “Entourage,” and will be featured in the upcoming “Road House,” film, so why can’t Lovato take a jump into her MMA world? A Rousey vs. Lovato fight would no doubt have viewers tuning by the millions.
Lovato also posted this video of herself doing a series of squats while holding a barbell with nearly double her body weight. Staring straight ahead, with a towel around her neck, Lovato makes it look easy.
This kind of training can’t just be to stay in shape for her current tour with Nick Jonas. Based on her performance at the 2015 American Music Awards, she can probably perform that physical singing routine in her sleep.
These intense strength training workouts makes it seem that she's preparing for something greater than just looking good in a pair of skinny jeans. What do you think? Would you support the singer, actress, songwriter, if she added fighter to her resume?
