Ronda Rousey erupts in tirade responding to Kayla Harrison: ‘Who the f*ck are you to call me a liar?’
Ronda Rousey would not have any animosity in direction of Gina Carano forward of their upcoming struggle, however that is actually not the case when it comes to reigning UFC ladies’s bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison.
While issues stayed painfully cordial between Rousey and Carano, the UFC Hall of Famer erupted when she was requested about Harrison’s current feedback about her. Back in March, Harrison took aim at Rousey after she talked about an train that takes place between judokas, the place it is like a marathon coaching session with the particular person in the center staying there till somebody beats them. Rousey is an Olympic bronze medalist in judo and as soon as shared as pot on the similar US group as Harrison, who went onto change into a two-time Olympic gold medalist in judo.
“So she’s online this telling story about how, ‘Yeah, I had a lot of pride so I’d be out there for an hour with these girls and then finally a 90-kilo guy would take pity on me and come out and throw me,’” Harrison mentioned. “Dude, that is literally a blatant f*cking lie. Now you’re just doing shit up. That never happened.”
On Wednesday, Rousey responded in a fiery retort.
“[Kayla] says that I lied about training in judo in Canada in 2006. Who the f*ck are you to call me a liar?” Rousey mentioned. “I was training there for five months. Bitch, you weren’t even there. Over the last decade and a half of being a public figure, I have cultivated a reputation for being unabashedly truthful. This bitch just got here and was already caught in a lie.
“What did she say after she won the belt? ‘Oh, I’m never going to say anything bad about Ronda, she took care of me when I was broke in Japan, and she bought me groceries.’ How about you shut the f*ck up and eat your groceries?”
During that same interview from March, Harrison also lamented that the Rousey vs. Carano fight is being touted as the biggest fight in women’s MMA history, with the competitors involved returning from a combined 27 years out of action. Rousey last fought in 2016 when she suffered a second straight knockout loss before leaving the UFC, and Carano hasn’t competed since 2009 when she was finished by Cris Cyborg in Strikeforce.
Harrison called Rousey “irrelevant” at this stage of the game, especially as she prepares to defend her UFC title against Amanda Nunes, who is widely considered the greatest of all-time in women’s MMA. Nunes was also the person who sent Rousey packing in her final UFC fight.
“Gina is so related that she’s the complete motive the 145-pound division even exists. I’m so related that the solely motive she has a job at the UFC is due to me,” Rousey ranted. “Kayla is so irrelevant that she could not even preserve the 145-pound division round. Honestly, she’s simply bitter as a result of it doesn’t matter what she does or what she accomplishes, she will be able to’t change the proven fact that she has the charisma of a moist towel and can all the time be in me and Gina’s shadow.
“So the next time she wants to talk shit, she should look down at her feet and consider who paved the road that she’s walking on. Oh wait, she can’t look down at her feet because she’s too busy holding onto the belt in a neck brace.”
That final insult stems from Harrison lately present process neck surgical procedure that delayed his struggle in opposition to Nunes, which was initially scheduled for UFC 324 in January.
But even that canceled struggle acquired Rousey heated as a result of Harrison vs. Nunes was supposed to function the co-main occasion on the card, with an interim light-weight title struggle between Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett set as the headliner.
“Her and Hunter [Campbell] acting like her next upcoming fight is the biggest women’s fight of all time,” Rousey said. “Then why is it being booked as a co-main for a men’s interim title fight?
“The bitch isn’t even bigger than Paddy the Baddy [Pimblett]. No offense to Paddy. “He’s got more potential than anybody in the UFC, and he should call me when his contract runs out.”
With Netflix backing the Rousey vs. Carano card with greater than 325 million subscribers, it is easy to consider that the occasion goes to draw sizable viewership numbers.
So Rousey might solely scoff at the suggestion that Harrison’s struggle in opposition to Nunes goes to outdraw her upcoming showdown in opposition to Carano.
In truth, Rousey believes her struggle in opposition to Carano goes to crush each report once they lastly set foot in the cage on May 16.
“If she thinks that her fight is the biggest women’s fight of all-time, why is she getting paid less now than I was 10 years ago?” Rousey mentioned. “So riddle me this, bitch, are you overvalued or are you overpaid? What really pisses me off more than anything else is how small she thinks. This is not just the biggest women’s fight of all time; this is the biggest MMA fight of all time, it’s going to get the most views on the biggest platform on the card with the biggest stars, and it was assembled by and will be headlined by two women who dared to dream big.
“This dream goes to deliver extra alternatives and higher income share to fighters than they’ve ever had earlier than as a result of this struggle is larger than simply me and Gina. It’s greater than anyone on this stage. It represents an unstoppable drive of change in this business, spearheaded by the fighters themselves. You guess your f*cking ass that is the greatest MMA struggle of all time. Bar none.”
