Celebrities, athletes and many others have taken part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in the last few weeks to raise money for the ALS Association. Even mixed martial artist Ronda Rousey got into the act.

Rousey was challenged by her boss, UFC President Dana White, and gladly accepted. While Rousey was at the Fox Sports studios on Aug. 12, she completed the challenge.

Rousey passed on the challenge to Sylvester Stallone, Dwayne Johnson and Gina Carano.

A total of $4 million dollars has been raised with the Ice Bucket Challenge since July 29, according to alsa.org.
