In 2012, ‘Rowdy’ was doing an interview with FrontRowFights.com while she was in Stockholm. Next to her was a renowned MMA coach, Cesar Gracie, who also once trained the former female UFC champion.

The interviewer was asking questions about Rousey’s life struggle and her career. However, halfway through the interview, the reporter got too ardent about the former female UFC bantamweight champion.

“She rolled with me. And I’m like a nobody, and she kicked my b*tt. That’s like a big gift for me… Your presence is amazing. The attention you pay to the moment makes my life so much more fun right now,” the interviewer said. 

However, that was it for Rousey’s former coach, who was watching the reporter in shock. He quickly interrupted the interviewer and addressed the elephant in the room. This is getting really creepy for me, you two. I am gonna step over here,” Gracie said. Later, he left the frame. 

Fortunately, the reporter was lucky enough, as Rousey played it cool. However, one such reporter who questioned the ex-UFC star once wasn’t this lucky.
