Plot twist! ‘Fake’ UFC coach Ronda Rousey ‘hated’ is now training ‘Rowdy’ for Gina Carano comeback
Looks like “Rowdy” finally found a coach with MMA experience.
LAS VEGAS, NV - NOVEMBER 30: UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey yells from the stands as Gray Maynard and Nate Diaz fight in their lightweight fight during The Ultimate Fighter season 18 live finale inside the Mandalay Bay Events Center on November 30, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

So does money, which is probably why Ricky Lundell, who coached Miesha Tate against Ronda Rousey and her squad of UFC hopefuls on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 18 , is now training “Rowdy” for her combat sports comeback against Gina Carano on May 16 in Los Angeles .
For those of you newer fans, TUF 18 was the season of racist unibrows , Irish three-ways , and unplugged PR machines . “We were mortal enemies,” the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion said of her past relationship with Lundell during her latest YouTube blog . “Started off as mortal enemies.
He was coaching against me on ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ and he was so nice I was like, ‘This motherf*cker is so patronizing and fake. ’ And I hated his guts. It was like the monkey in the closet from ‘Family Guy.
’ That was me to Ricky all the time. ” Sounds like the hate was fairly one-sided. So what changed?
