UFC Hall of Fame Ronda Rousey was always a polarising figure. ‘Rowdy‘ was never the one to hide her emotions when she was on top of the world. Winning the first medal in Judo (woman) in the Olympic games was her first moment of fame, but it was her MMA career that gave her the actual push to stardom. Even before the UFC, she rocked the microphone like a superstar.
Rousey even claimed to fight for her first Strikeforce championship by using her social platform to jump the queue. Although her performances inside the cage pictured a different tale.
Answering who will be a celeb she would have the world to follow on Twitter, Rousey said, “Joe Rogan.” The former six-time UFC woman bantamweight champion appreciated the JRE host across the board, and mentioned, “I’m a huge fan of his podcast.”
Rogan’s $200 million worth Spotify podcast is still the number one show in the world a decade later, in 2022.

Anyhow, in the interview with ESPN during the ESPYS week, Rousey was asked multiple questions. The two answers from Rousey that stood out involved veteran UFC announcer, Joe Rogan, and the famed Hollywood star, Kim Kardashian, a celebrity that ‘Rowdy’ was highly critical of and even suggested she would ‘beat the c*ap out of‘.
As far as Rogan, when ‘Rowdy’ eventually arrived in UFC, the former Fear Factor host praised her throughout her championship reign. At the time, Rogan even claimed Rousey to get the better of half of the UFC bantamweight division. Besides, Rogan gave an edge to the Judoka to beat 50-0 boxer, Floyd Mayweather, in MMA.
