Ripping Apart Joe Rogan and MMA Media, Ronda Rousey ‘Sabotages Her Legacy’ as Fans Turn Against Ex-UFC Star Post ‘Not Welcome’ Statement

The biggest pioneer of women’s MMA, Ronda Rousey, has been the focus of the MMA world for over a month. She came under fire after her distasteful words about longtime UFC commentator Joe Rogan and the MMA media made headlines. ‘The Baddest Woman on the Planet’ went one further recently after opening up on why she doesn’t attend UFC events, drawing the ire of the fans.

“It was really, like, disappointing just to, to see how, how happily everybody had turned on me and how you know people like Joe Rogan… People that considered friends in the media so quickly, you know, turned on me.” This is what Ronda Rousey stated over a month ago, expressing her disdain towards MMA media, including the analysts and commentators. But as we know, she received backlash for it, which has made the former UFC champion believe that she’s the biggest target of the MMA media.

“Everything that could be said that was negative was said and I feel like, really vilified by MMA media at this point,” Ronda Rousey stated on the High-Performance podcast. She would further go on to state that the reason people don’t see her attending UFC events, even years after her retirement, is because she’s afraid, afraid of the jeers from fans.

“I’m not really welcome back, which is why I haven’t gone to a UFC [event] because I’m pretty sure if I walked into the arena, I’d be booed… That’s how it feels,” Rousey added. Now, how do you think the fans reacted to these inflammatory comments again? If you’ve guessed it, the fans, on Reddit, did not spare the UFC Hall of Famer.

Fans rain down with jibes yet again on Ronda Rousey for her recent comments

The fans clearly think that something’s wrong with Ronda Rousey. They mentioned how surprised they were to see her getting riled up just because the fans expressed their displeasure with her. That’s a recurring theme in combat sports, after all. “I’ve never seen anyone in any sport and that includes professional wrestling be so affected by being booed.” On the other hand, the fans haven’t questioned her credentials as a bona fide UFC legend. But the fact that she never analyzes herself and her mistakes is what they think has earned her the jeers from the MMA community. “She was a great pioneer for the sport, but her lack of accountability is so annoying. She earned the hate.”

After listening to Rousey’s recent comments, one fan commented about what the former champion was afraid of, “Boooooooooo.” A couple of fans suggested that Ronda Rousey should learn not to pour her heart out so much because it doesn’t seem to be working in her favor. While one said, “It’s like every time she speaks she wants to do everything possible to sabotage her legacy,” the other stated, “Man she should just STFU.”

The fans also pointed their fingers at Ronda Rousey for developing a negative perception of her in the MMA community. Not only that, but some ideated that the years of punishment her body took inside the Octagon and even in WWE could have affected her negatively. The fans said, “Done that to yourself,” and, “Maybe I’m misremembering her, but she sounds a bit CTE-ish now?”

There could be different perceptions about Ronda Rousey for different people. But as far as these reactions are concerned, the UFC Hall of Famer seems to have triggered many fans around the world. But what do you make of it? Do you agree or disagree with ‘The Baddest Woman on the Planet’?
