Ronda Rousey Blasted As “A Joke In The MMA World” By UFC Champion

WWE Superstar Ronda Rousey has been branded “a joke in the MMA world” by reigning UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Julianna Peña.

Rousey joined WWE in 2018 after a massively successful career in UFC but left Mixed Martial Arts after losing her last two fights.

While speaking on The MMA Hour, Peña slammed Rousey’s legacy in the Octagon saying:

“Ronda is so old news, right? I think that what’s incredible about her is that 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… she’s kind of a joke in the MMA world now, because she’s a — what is the word? — sellout. Like, a little bit of a sellout there. I mean, I guess I understand, right? It’s like, pro wrestling is fake, you get paid millions of dollars, I get it. But for me, for real s***, for like the ‘you’re the real, real deal,’ I would say that that’s in the UFC.”

Peña also said that if Rousey would like to fight once more then she’d gladly enter the Octagon as her opponent.

Rousey lost at WrestleMania 38 to SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair in her second WWE defeat.
