Ronda Rousey Rips Kayla Harrison on Video, Tells UFC Star to ‘S–t the F–k Up’ Before Carano Fight

Ronda Rousey referred to as out UFC ladies’s bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison forward of her MMA battle with Gina Carano.

Rousey instructed Harrison to “shut the f–k up” throughout her press convention on Wednesday (1:10 mark).

Harrison beforehand took photographs at the conflict between Rousey and Carano after it was first announced on Feb. 17.

“I don’t think we should talk about this because I don’t think I have anything nice to say,” Harrison stated throughout a March 30 appearance on the Death Row MMA podcast (h/t Farah Hannoun of MMA Junkie).

“She said this is the best female fight of all time,” she added. “…How old is Gina, though? She hasn’t fought in 17 years. Like, shut up.”

The upcoming battle will likely be the first for Carano since 2009 and the first for Rousey since 2016.

Rousey additionally joked about what she missed most as she prepares to make her MMA return.

“I didn’t realize [how much I missed this] until I was on stage telling people to go f–k themselves,” Rousey stated Wednesday. “I was like, ‘Man, I missed doing this.'”

Rousey, who initially retired after consecutive losses to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes, defined why she selected to come again.

“I think I needed everyone to give up on me fighting again for me to know I was coming back to fight just for me,” Rousey instructed reporters. “I think that fighting became about everybody else and that’s what started to steal my joy from it. In my last two fights, I just didn’t want to be there. Gina is the one person that ignited that fire in me again to want to be there. Now I know it’s just for me because everybody gave up on it.”

In 2022, Rousey revealed that Carano was the solely fighter that she’d take into account ending her retirement to face.

Now, they’re set to conflict at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California on May 16.
