UPDATE: In a fiery exchange, former UFC champion Ronda Rousey has taken a direct jab at commentator Joe Rogan during a recent interview on the “Bertcast Podcast” with comedian Bert Kreischer. The episode aired just hours ago, stirring immediate buzz in the sports community.
Rousey, who has shifted from mixed martial arts to a successful career in WWE, engaged in a playful yet pointed banter with Kreischer regarding her potential return to the Octagon. When asked if there was a price that could lure her back, Rousey responded, “I have everything I want. There’s nothing that would really change my life.”
The conversation took a sharp turn when Kreischer suggested he would seek Rogan’s advice for training. Rousey did not hold back, stating, “He wouldn’t know. He’s not an expert. He’s a fan with an audience. Never fought … Taekwondo is not fighting.” This remark highlights the growing rift between Rousey and Rogan, which reportedly deepened after her losses to Amanda Nunes and Holly Holm.
Rousey’s relationship with Rogan has been under scrutiny since she claimed last year that he and others “turned” on her during her difficult times in the sport. As a former Olympic bronze medalist in judo and a six-time UFC women’s bantamweight champion, Rousey’s opinions carry weight in the MMA community. She was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2018, solidifying her status as a pioneer in women’s MMA.
In the podcast, Rousey also reflected on her career trajectory, illustrating her satisfaction with her current life and accomplishments. Her comments resonate with fans who remember her groundbreaking role in elevating women’s sports.
As the sports world reacts to this latest development, observers are eager to see if this marks a turning point in the relationship between Rousey and Rogan. Will Rousey’s words spark further discussion in the MMA community?
