Former UFC champion Ronda Rousey, once dismissed the former American president Donald Trump after he claimed she was on his side. The Olympic medalist is inarguably one of the biggest names in the American mixed martial arts scenario. In fact, she was the first American woman to win an Olympic medal in judo.

Moreover, Rousey is one of the pioneers of the women’s division in the UFC. Therefore, once while showing his support to the female front liners, Trump gave an example of the former UFC champion.

In an interview with CNN, the former president even stated that ‘Rowdy’ likes him. Trump said, “I guess the answer is yes, because they’re really into it. Some of them are really, really good. I’ll tell you what, I know some woman that are just… Ronda Rousey is an example, who likes me… I’d take her on my side as a fighter.”

However, this was not the case for the former UFC champion. The 35-year-old mixed martial artist in an interview with CNN slammed Trump’s idea of the presidency.

Rousey said, “I mean, I wouldn’t vote for him. I just really wouldn’t trust the guy with running my country, that’s all. … I’m not really going to get into specifics of it, but I mean, I don’t want a reality TV star to be running my country.”
