‘Ronda Rousey is a Joke in the MMA World’: Top UFC Fighter Claims Current WWE Star is a Sellout

Is Ronda Rousey a sellout? While the UFC public blames Rousey for shifting to the biggest sports entertainment, what about WWE fans? The question brings to notice the time and effort Rousey gave to her career in MMA. As we all know, Rousey started her athletic career by competing for Olympic gold. And after that, she pursued MMA and became the first woman to be signed to the UFC. Carrying over the Bantamweight Championship, she was a part of the four horsewomen of the UFC.

And now when she has achieved everything she wanted in the octagon, she wanted to explore the world. She became popular and then came the movie deals and the exciting offers. And after eating two consecutive losses, she shifted to WWE.

Coming to WWE; she helped move the women’s revolution forward. Being the most important part of the first-ever women’s WrestleMania main event. So coming to WWE has not only manifested in a better future for women in the wrestling world but also a better future for her as well.

Julianna Pena expresses her feelings about Ronda Rousey

That is the big question that the UFC fighter, Julianna Pena, asked at the UFC hour recently. She said, “Ronda is so old news, right? She opened up the door and was destroying people in 10 seconds, and became a star because she was demolishing people in the first round, and that’s great — but she got knocked out twice and never came back. So how legit is she? She had to go to pro wrestling. And I get that and I think that that’s great.”

“But as a fighter and somebody who is competitive, I know that — deep down — it probably truly bothers her, the fact that she went away off of two knockout losses and never came back to make her name good. She’s kind of a joke in the MMA world now because she’s a — what is the word? — sellout. But for me, for real s***, for like the ‘you’re the real, real deal,’ I would say that that’s in the UFC. And if she ever wants any of that real smoke, I’m ready.”

Taking all into consideration, another Rousey UFC bout would be fantastic for both UFC and WWE fans alike. And after sprinkling her popularity in the WWE locker room, the “Baddest Woman on the Planet” can also sprinkle some in the UFC as well.
