A prominent name in combat sports, Ronda Rousey has reigned big over both the UFC and WWE. And amidst all her fame, her tumultuous equation with both the media outlets and commentator Joe Rogan is also well known. Even after being the first female MMA fighter to headline the all-female event at UFC 157, her relationship with Rogan saw a decline post-retirement as Rogan commented on her fighting skills and deemed them to be one-dimensional. 

Even after having a good career, she declared that Joe Rogan and the MMA team turned their backs on her. Now this topic of her recently bursting out on Rogan was discussed by Chael Sonnen and he pretty much did not agree with the ex-fighter.

Chael Sonnen talks about Ronda Rousey’s verdict

On his YouTube channel, Sonnen recently justified why friendship and work were different and why Rogan might have criticized her. He claimed, “If she [Ronda] was to be beaten I think you could still be her friend, but write down and; or report how she was beaten.” However, he acknowledged that the broken friendship hurt the fighter’s feelings. The rift between Rogan and her stems from the fact that in the past year, many MMA artists and critics have pointed out that she was not that good, and one of them was Rogan.

Chael Sonnen seemed to be defending Rogan in a way because he said, “I watched an interview with Ronda Rousey and it was so awesome to see a person who they on a benefactor and then left the competitive sports world to go into the entertainment sports world. Came out the other side and still does not understand.”

While Sonnen seems to have picked the side of Joe Rogan in the whole ordeal, Ronda Rousey seems unlikely to forget the feud anytime soon.

Ronda Rousey expressed her dejection on MMA

In a recent interview with Chris Cuomo, she opened up about her ex-friend and the criticism she is receiving from MMA. She said, “It was, like, disappointing just to, to see how, how happily everybody had turned on me…”

Rogan had said that she had one-dimensional fighting skills. He also dismissed her comeback after her last loss and said, “No. I don’t think she wants to. I think Ronda is a strong woman. She decides she’s done, she’s done. She’s going to move on. I don’t think she wanted to keep doing it… She had a very singular attack. Armbar. It was all armbars.”

Cumo asked her if anyone from MMA contacted her or not. To this, the 37-year-old replied that she had not got a single call from anybody. She was not waiting for the call either because of her belief that the friendships were all fake.
