UFC Hall of Famer Ronda Rousey said the entire mixed martial arts media was “delighted” to be supportive of her, including commentator Joe Rogan.
Rousey has been promoting her new book, Our Fight, and has said that she believes she is the “greatest fighter of all time” and that concussions, not losses, ended her career. New revelations have become a hot topic.
Appearing in “chris cuomo project” Rousey made another newsworthy comment, this time about her industry. The former fighter responded by asking Cuomo what it was like not being able to explain how she suffered a concussion when she retired. Ta.
“It was disappointing to see everyone willingly turn on me,” Rousey responded. “People like Joe Rogan were crying in the ring because they were honored to have a match with me. People who I thought were friends in the media immediately turned on me. ” she claimed.
Rousey said in an early April 2024 interview that she suffered so many concussions near the end of her career that she literally couldn’t get a jab in training without getting one.
“I appreciate that too,” Rousey continued. “It forced me to separate other people’s perceptions of me from my own perceptions of myself, which I didn’t realize were intertwined. There was an outpouring of love from people. When you’re receiving support, you’re being bombarded with love from yourself.” The world. “
The former champion said much of her mindset has to do with pleasing others and pursuing a life of fame and fortune in order to “impress other people.”
“I was pandering to everyone and doing things that other people thought were cool, but it wasn’t really fun. Being famous for the paparazzi is not fun. I hate it,” she explained. did. “After that experience, I had to realize, oh, this is not real love, it’s fake.”
The 37-year-old added that she realized that the media’s criticism of her was actually criticism of herself.
“They don’t actually know me, they don’t actually love me, they don’t actually hate me. This is about them and what I represent to them. “It’s a reflection of who we are,” she argued.
Mr. Cuomo also asked whether Mr. Rogan and other members of the media had contacted Ms. Rousey since they heard about her concussion.
“No one is correcting themselves,” Cuomo asserted.
“The mixed martial arts media hates me, but it’s okay,” Rousey declared. “Not a single person called me or anything. They all told me I was making excuses, that I was lying, that I was exaggerating things, that I deserved credit. He didn’t acknowledge it or just said calmly, “I’ll be waiting.” That call is forever. ”
“Are you going to wait for that? Or are you going to figure it out and understand where they’re coming from?” Cuomo then asked.
“I know they’re a bunch of assholes,” Rousey laughed. “That’s what I understand. I understand, ‘Fuck you.’ I don’t want to have such fake friendships in my life, I would rather see such people reveal themselves. ”
