Ronda Rousey is completed with blended martial arts, however there’s one fighter that would pull her out of retirement.
Rousey hasn’t competed in MMA since her title-fight loss to Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 in December 2016, however is flourishing within the skilled wrestling world.
One struggle that Rousey all the time needed however didn’t materialize all through her UFC profession is Gina Carano, who says Dana White is the reason their planned fight fell through.
“There’s just one particular person … there’s just one particular person I might come again for,” Rousey stated on the Kurt Angle Show. “I imply, I’ve stated it one million occasions. It’s not prefer it’s one thing new. (I’d come again) for Gina, man – Gina Carano. She’s the explanation why I acquired into combating. She’s the explanation why I knew it was a chance. I’ll all the time be eternally grateful. If she ever was like, ‘Ronda, I wish to struggle you tomorrow at 205 kilos’ – like, regardless of the hell she’d need. I’m not saying she’s 205 kilos; she’s very svelte.
“If she needed to come back into my yard and do the ‘Rocky’ factor, you recognize, ‘Ding-ding,’ and we simply do it within the yard, I don’t care. I’ll struggle Gina wherever she needs. And if she doesn’t wish to, eternally, I’ll go away that provide there. It’s a respect factor, not like a, ‘F*ck you, I’m coming to get you.’ It’s similar to, ‘Hey, when you ever wish to pull that card out, it’s there.’ I like her. Thanks, Gina, for every part you’ve performed.”
In response to Carano, the UFC provided her $1 million to struggle then-undefeated bantamweight champion Rousey, however felt pressured when White advised media she was being signed earlier than having an opportunity to construct a six-month camp. That and a textual content White despatched her by mistake proved to be the nail within the coffin.
