The day was October 16, 2014, and Ronda Rousey was the UFC bantamweight champion and on top of the world. Here’s a story from that very date in its original, unaltered form from your friends MMA News, a leading source in MMA News since 2002.

During an appearance on “Jim Rome on Showtime,” UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey gave her take on why she feels pretty girls are better at combat sports.
“They’re the ones that don’t get hit,” said Rousey. “If you think about it, if someone’s all gnarled-up, and you’re like ‘Oh man, they’ve been through some battles’, it’s like yeah, they suck! They’ve just been hit a bunch of times. If I’m coming out looking fine, then I’m probably the better fighter.”
Elaborating on a comment she made recently about her feeling that she was close to death in past fights, Rousey said: “With Liz Carmouche, I thought I could die for sure. I blocked a choke so she turned it into a neck crank. I felt my jaw dislocate and I was thinking I would rather break my neck than lose this fight.”
The undefeated UFC champ continued, “I would rather die than lose. I know that feeling so well. It’s not that I’ve never lost. I’ve lost at the worst time so I know what a loss is. That’s why I want to win so much more than these other girls. It feels like dying to me. I’d rather die.”

When Bellator launches on Showtime, it will do so with a couple of former UFC title challengers in Cat Zingano and Liz Carmouche.
The card will mark the sophomore appearances for both fighters after a pair of successful debuts.
Zingano entered the Bellator cage for the first time last September opposite Gabby Holloway. It was her first fight since December 2018 after being released by the UFC following a TKO loss to Megan Anderson that capped a 1-4 stretch. Zingano looked in fine form in her return, dominating Holloway on the way to a unanimous decision. In her next outing, she will face Olivia Parker. After starting her career 4-0, Parker made her Invicta debut in July 2020, losing by submission in 65 seconds.
The first female fighter to step into the UFC octagon, Carmouche was released by the UFC after going 5-5 and twice challenging for promotional gold. She quickly found a new home in Bellator and debuted with a third-round submission over DeAnna Bennett at Bellator 246 last September. She’ll now meet Vanessa Porto, who has quiet the impressive resume of her own.
A longtime staple of Invicta FC, Porto fought 11 times for the promotion, challenging for the flyweight title on three occasions. After falling short against Barb Honchak and Jennifer Maia in her first attempts, the third time proved to be the charm as she finally claimed the belt with a decision win over Pearl Gonzalez. Overall, Porto has won four-in-a-row and will look to keep her momentum rolling in her Bellator debut.
Zingano and Carmouche won’t be the only former UFC fighters featured at Bellator 256. The event kicks off the promotion’s light heavyweight tournament and showcases Ryan Bader, Lyoto Machida and Corey Anderson at the top of the card. Bader and Machida will square off against each other, while Anderson will welcome Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov to the Bellator ranks.
Bellator 256 takes place at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut on April 9. The main card airs on Showtime at 9PM ET.
