Rousey added, “The atmosphere was – it’s very cheery and family like and everyone was there to help each other. They were passionate about the project. They just wanted to do well”

“He was a joy to be around and you could tell that everybody was just – they weren’t all there for themselves, they were there for each other. And I was happy that I got to be one of the last people to witness that,” concluded the UFC Hall of Famer.
