Former ROH World Champion Roderick Strong said he wanted to "pursue other opportunities" when he left the company in June ... and now he's getting the opportunity to be a dad!

Strong's fiancée -- MMA fighter Marina Shafir -- shared the news Monday night on Instagram ... saying, "This is REAL life. I simply cannot explain the emotions that have been flooding me and @roderickstrong in the last few weeks ... I did not prepare to be a mom (even though, everyone close around me always told me I had the instinct), but I'm on this bandwagon to the end now!"

Shafir also invited fans to follow her pregnancy, noting that she'll be restarting her YouTube channel and vlogging about the experience weekly.

No word on the baby's gender ... but with those genes, we're assuming it'll be a badass bundle of joy.
