Singer-songwriter Kehlani recently stepped far outside her comfort zone in a hilarious and entertaining YouTube moment when she trained with MMA icon Ronda Rousey in the video “Kehlani Gets ‘Folded’ By MMA Legend Ronda Rousey.” What started as a fun celebrity crossover quickly turned into a lesson in just how intense mixed martial arts can be.
The video shows Kehlani stepping into Rousey’s training environment to learn some basic MMA techniques, including how to safely fall, grapple, and protect herself. While Kehlani brought humor and curiosity to the experience, Ronda wasted no time demonstrating why she’s one of the most feared fighters in MMA history. At several points, Kehlani found herself literally “folded” into submission holds and taken to the mat, creating funny moments that had viewers laughing while also respecting Rousey’s incredible skill.
Beyond the laughs, the collaboration highlighted an unexpected but entertaining blend of music and sports culture. The title cleverly plays off Kehlani’s hit song “Folded,” making the moment even more memorable. Fans loved seeing Kehlani’s playful personality shine while taking on a challenge completely outside of her usual world.
