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.”
Joe Rogan dismissed Donald Trump once and got bashed
Ronda Rousey wasn’t the only UFC associate who dismissed the former United States President. Veteran commentator Joe Rogan has done something similar in the past. However, he got slammed for doing so.
The longtime UFC color commentator is very open about his political views and often talks about them on his famous podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience.
Rogan once claimed that he denied having the former president on his podcast several times. However, his comments didn’t sit well with Steve Bannon, former chief strategist for the Trump administration. He later took a dig at the JRE host and also called his audience low information.
