Former UFC girls’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey was on comic Bert Kreischer’s podcast when she lashed out about MMA followers and media.
“MMA followers and media are essentially the most what have you ever accomplished currently for us crowd of any sport,” the UFC Corridor of Famer stated. “You take a look at WWE they usually have such a reverence for his or her legends. In MMA, it’s just like the second that you just’re not on prime, you’re not shit and also you by no means had been shit.”
“Chuck Liddell, when he’s on prime, ‘He’s one of the best, he’s one of the best.’ The second that he loses, ‘Oh Chuck Liddell ain’t shit, he by no means was shit,’” Rousey stated. “‘Rampage’ Jackson, oh my god he’s the subsequent Mike Tyson, he’s so nice!’ The second he loses, ‘Rampage’ ain’t shit, he by no means was shit. [Georges St-Pierre], ‘Oh he loses, he’s not shit, he by no means was shit.’ Anderson Silva, oh my God he was nearly like a legendary creature for some time. He was like this ninja, and he would hypnotize everybody in entrance of him. The second he loses, ‘Anderson ain’t shit, he by no means was shit.’ Fedor Emelianenko, one of many biggest ever. The second he loses, ‘Fedor ain’t shit, he by no means was shit.’”
The 38-year-old former champion and mom of two continued to share her opinion whereas talking to Kreischer.
“I believe the one purpose why MMA followers have their lips so firmly planted on the base of Khabib’s c*ck is as a result of he retired earlier than he reached his restrict,” Rousey stated. “If he saved combating till he reached his restrict, all people could be ‘Khabib ain’t shit, he by no means was shit’.
“They’re like that with all people. Identify one particular person. ‘Brock [Lesnar] ain’t shit, he by no means was shit.’ Identify one previous champion that has the type of respect that the present champions do. It’s actually unhappy as a result of I believe it encourages folks to get out whereas they’re peaking and leaving and taking all of that fairness with them as an alternative of passing it on to whoever’s subsequent to take up the mantle.”
Rousey left skilled combined martial arts competitors in 2016 following back-to-back losses to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes. She then ventured into the world {of professional} wrestling earlier than leaving that area as properly.
