“I Never Would’ve Guessed”: Ronda Rousey Shares a Major Misconception She Had About WWE Legend Brock Lesnar

Ronda Rousey and Brock Lesnar are two of the biggest names in combat sports. While Rousey made her name in the UFC before coming to WWE, ‘The Beast’ was a star with the sports entertainment giant before his success in MMA. Recently, Rousey hailed Lesnar and had high praise for the former WWE Champion.

Both Lesnar and the former Bantamweight Champion have been able to switch between MMA and pro wrestling almost seamlessly with tremendous success.

Both of them have been pioneers as they continue to dominate the world of combat sports.

A few years back, the former WWE Champion praised Rousey and now ‘The Rowdy One’ has returned the favor.

What did Rousey say about Brock Lesnar?

Ronda Rousey, who made her WWE debut in 2018, thinks highly of Lesnar.

During a recent live stream, she spoke about ‘The Conqueror’ and what she thinks of him.

She said, “I think he’s fantastic, “I think he’s awesome… We kind of didn’t cross paths in MMA, he was kind of before my time a little bit but since coming to WWE, he’s been the absolute coolest. He’s super smart, I never would’ve guessed. In MMA I always just kind of assume, you know, fighters are all of a certain… They’re not the scholarly types, the most of them.”

The words of ‘The Baddest Woman on the Planet’ about Brock Lesnar will resonate with many people. Not so long ago, WWE legend Goldberg also described ‘The Beast Incarnate’ as an absolute mastermind.

A few years ago, the former Universal Champion also praised Rousey during her UFC run.

He had said, “I think she’s a super athlete in a weak division. I really do. She is a man among women in the women’s division. I take my hat off to her.”

There certainly seems to be mutual respect between the two former UFC Champions. The duo has held world titles in UFC and WWE while they also won the Royal Rumble match in their respective divisions this year.

WWE may book Ronda Rousey like Lesnar

A report has revealed that WWE may look to book the former RAW Women’s Champion as a ‘special attraction’ similar to Lesnar.

Apparently, the company wants Rousey to look at a cut above the rest and establish her as an even bigger star.

If and when that will happen remains to be seen. But for now, ‘The Rowdy One’ will look to regain her SmackDown Women’s Championship when she faces Liv Morgan at Extreme Rules?
