BREAKING: UFC legend Ronda Rousey has taken a bold swipe at commentator and podcast host Joe Rogan during a revealing interview on the “Bertcast Podcast” hosted by comedian Bert Kreischer. This unexpected exchange has ignited discussions among fans and media alike, highlighting tension in the mixed martial arts community.
In the episode released on October 25, 2023, Rousey discussed her mixed martial arts career with Kreischer, who playfully asked if there was a price that could entice her to return to the Octagon. Rousey, firmly grounded in her success outside of the sport, stated, “I mean, I have everything I want. There’s nothing that would really change my life.”
As the conversation turned to hypothetical scenarios, Kreischer joked about needing training tips from Rogan. Rousey seized the moment to criticize Rogan, saying, “He wouldn’t know. He’s not an expert. He’s a fan with an audience. Never fought … Taekwondo is not fighting.”
This jab underscores a strained relationship between Rousey and Rogan, which appeared to deteriorate following her losses to Amanda Nunes and Holly Holm. Rousey previously claimed that Rogan and some others “turned” on her during that challenging period in her career.
Rousey, who won an Olympic bronze medal in judo in 2008, remains a significant figure in combat sports. She was the inaugural UFC women’s bantamweight champion, successfully defending her title six times before her induction into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2018.
In addition to her UFC accolades, Rousey transitioned to the world of professional wrestling, becoming a three-time women’s champion in WWE before her departure. Her unique blend of athleticism and charisma continues to resonate with fans across multiple platforms.
The implications of Rousey’s comments are broad, potentially affecting Rogan’s reputation within the MMA community and sparking conversations about expertise in sports commentary. As the story develops, many are left wondering how this public confrontation will influence future interactions between these two influential figures.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as Rousey and Rogan’s relationship continues to unfold.
