AUSTIN, TEXAS: One of the most well-known female MMA fighters in history is Ronda Rousey, a name that is familiar to UFC fans. She has made an enduring impact because of her winning personality, strong media presence, and great ring abilities.

However, a not-so-old warning message from Joe Rogan resurfaces, offering light on his perspective amid rumors of her potential exit from WWE. Famous commentator and personality Joe Rogan said interesting things about Ronda Rousey and her legacy in MMA and the UFC.

'Deserves exactly what she got'

Rogan believes that the former UFC champion “deserves exactly what she got,” blaming her resignation on her inability to keep up with Women's MMA's quick growth.

“I think she really cemented her legacy as one of the greatest Women’s MMA champions, even a pioneer but I also think that women’s MMA has evolved so fast, that within a brief time she was running s**t, the sports passed her by,” he added.

According to Rogan, Rousey struggled to adjust to the constantly evolving fighting styles and tactics used by her rivals, which ultimately contributed to her decision to retire from the sport. Notably, it appears that her losses against competitors like Amanda Nunes and Holly Holm were crucial in her departure.



 

Is Ronda Rousey returning to MMA?

Recent events have given rise to theories suggesting that Rousey would make a comeback to the mixed martial arts scene. The former undisputed UFC bantamweight champion has reportedly told WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) of her plan to depart the professional wrestling company by the end of April 2019.

Fans and experts anxiously await word of Rousey's future ventures as she mulls her next step, wondering if she'll return to the octagon or take a completely different route.

Fans have been enthralled by Joe Rogan and Ronda Rousey's interesting relationship for a long time. Their journey has been nothing short of interesting, from Rogan's early adoration for Rousey's dazzling exploits to his current belief that she could be reaching the end of her wrestling career.
