With a loss against ‘The Lioness,’ Rousey could well retire from her illustrious fighting career. Already putting her fighting future in question, ‘Rowdy’ recently revealed her retirement is imminent, win or lose at UFC 207.

Warrior Code

In her recent UFC on FOX segment called ‘Warrior Code,’ Ronda Rousey discussed a number of subjects ahead of UFC 207. From her nerves before fight night, to sacrifice and fame, ‘Rowdy’ revealed all in this in-depth interview:

“I feel most nervous two weeks before a fight, I call it ‘two week-itus.’ It’s when I feel the most emotional, my body is the most broken down, and I literally will cry over spilt milk. By the time I actually walk out, I’m tired of being nervous, so I just do what I need to do.”

“I don’t really think of the things I give up for my fights as a sacrifice. I’m happy to devote six weeks straight just to training, and to be moving around in a body that’s the most finely tuned fighting machine in the world. I feel like the biggest sacrifices have been made long before now, so I’m happy to embrace it.”

“Everyone Has Reasons To Fight”

“I try not to call myself famous or think about it too much, because I’m scared of it. I’m really scared to lose my reference on reality. If you are socially unhealthy then you’ll be mentally unhealthy, so I’m trying to remain socially healthy so I don’t lose my reference on what’s real.”

“It’s a human sport, there’s an instinct in every person on this planet to fight, at any age. Everyone has a reason to fight. You have to have the personality to fight, and you can’t learn personality, you just have it. Fighters are born, and I was born a fighter.”

Report: Ronda Rousey Furious With Joe Rogan For Negative Comments

The post Report: Ronda Rousey Furious With Joe Rogan For Negative Comments appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey returns at UFC 207, entering the octagon for the first time in over a year. Having suffered the only loss of her career at UFC 193, ‘Rowdy’ was a changed woman after facing Holly Holm. Going from the biggest attraction in MMA, to a fallen queen with an unsure future, Rousey’s loss was complicating and deep on many levels. That crushing head kick, it would seem, impacted harder than anyone knew.

Although nowhere near the levels of fanfare and media frenzy she’s accustomed to, Ronda Rousey’s big comeback is being pushed hard. The reigning champion Amanda Nunes takes a back seat in the UFC 207 promotion, with trailer’s titled ‘she’s back!’ being released on the UFC Youtube channel. Regardless of the hype, this is a big challenge for the ex-champion. Facing a strong, well-rounded and heavy striking force in ‘The Lioness,’ Rousey has a lot on her plate on December 30.

Beef With Joe?

Considering her record of feuding with opponents, it comes as a surprise there’s been literally no trash talk from Ronda Rousey toward Amanda Nunes. Perhaps even more unexpected is the rift between the former champ and color commentator Joe Rogan. As per Joey Diaz’s Podcast, Rousey is fuming at Rogan over his ‘negative’ comments following her loss to Holm:

“I went to this place and bumped into this guy — I’ve met this guy a few times, he’s a big time MMA guy — and he pulled me over to say how mad Ronda Rousey was at Joe Rogan. Not only Joe Rogan, but anybody in that time period that she got knocked out, anybody who said anything of a negative air, she’s just furious, and she has a long list, and she’s very angry.”

“You know, it doesn’t pertain to me, I really don’t give a fuck.”

Negative Air?

Without sounding petulant, is Ronda Rousey confusing honesty with negativity? Let’s be frank, was there a single media outlet or personality that was reporting anything positive about Rousey’s UFC 193 performance? With the formerly dominant queen already putting the screws to her future in MMA by declaring her retirement plans, what is the real story behind UFC 207? Will we look back on her fight with Amanda Nunes as the second chapter of her inevitable demise, or is Rousey mad at Joe Rogan (and everyone else) because she knows she’s capable of much more. If the latter is the case, we could be in for one hell of a fight to round out 2016.

Amanda Nunes Will Wait For Ronda Rousey To Return

Amanda Nunes shocked the mixed martial arts (MMA) world at last month’s (July 9, 2016) UFC 200, destroying Miesha Tate in the first round of their main event bout to become the UFC women’s bantamweight champion. With the title now strapped around her waist, Nunes has multiple options regarding her next challenge given the wide […]

No. 5-ranked Julianna Pena is riding a winning streak and campaigning for a title shot while No. 3-ranked Valentina Shevchenko is also gunning for a shot at gold after recently beating former titleholder Holly Holm. But as always, a dark cloud is looming over the division regarding the potential return of previously dominant champion Ronda Rousey, who’s been out of action since getting knocked out by Holm last November.

If the “Rowdy” one plans on returning in the near future, Nunes will be waiting, and the Brazilian feels confident that she would match up well against Rousey:

“I’ve been training jiu-jitsu since I started. Jiu-jitsu and judo both together. I know how to block very well judo throws, I know how to use my hips very well. I know if Ronda Rousey is coming back, I’m going to keep the championship,” Nunes said during a Q&A session ahead of UFC 201.

If the former champion isn’t coming back any time soon, Nunes acknowledges that both Pena and Shevchenko are deserving of a title shot, but she also once again made it clear that her eyes are set on a bout with Rousey:

“Ronda Rousey,” Nunes said when asked point blank who she wants next. “But we have a couple of girls in line right now — Julianna Pena, Valentina Shevchenko, and if Ronda’s not coming back, I’ll take Julianna Pena. It’s no problem.”

Who would you like to see the 135-pound queen face off with next?

Australian Reporter: ‘Sadistic’ UFC Is A Bloodbath That Glorifies Violence

Former UFC bantamweight champion “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey is without question one of the sport’s biggest stars despite falling on rough times recently.

The “Rowdy” one has been out of action since surrendering her title in brutal fashion to Holly Holm at November 2015’s UFC 193 from Melbourne, Australia.

Aside from her loss, Rousey led a very successful event at UFC 193 which took place at the massive 50,000 plus seat Etihad Stadium. The show was monumental to say the least, but that doesn’t mean that every Australian was too fond of the action.

In fact, one certain Australian reporter had some very harsh comments regarding the card, bashing not only Rousey, but the ‘bloodbath’ that is the UFC as well.

Check out what Susie O’Brien of Melbourne’s Herald Sun had to say below:

“Ronda, we don’t need to encourage people to pay good money to watch you get battered into oblivion, or to watch you do the same to your opponent.

My colleague, Ron Reed, who went to the Holm v Rousey fight last year, said the crowd was roaring things like “cut off his f—— head” and “I want to see blood”.

I don’t think UFC is entertainment and it shouldn’t be served up as such in any Australian city. It’s nothing more than a dangerous form of sadistic voyeurism that feeds off the injuries sustained by others.

This is not sport. It’s a bloodbath that glorifies violence.”

Well, O’Brien sure wasn’t holding back with those statements.

As for Rousey, the ex-champion has yet to return since being knocked out by Holm, but there have been rumors of her making her highly-anticipated comeback at November 12’s UFC 205 from Madison Square Garden in New York.

What do you make of these comments regarding Rousey and the sport as a whole?
