Ronda Rousey steals the show with fiery Kayla Harrison rant
Ronda Rousey was at her very best during her time in the spotlight at the Palladium Times Square in New York, transforming the MVP MMA press conference into a war declaration on Kayla Harrison and the UFC . Despite being away from the octagon for almost a decade, Rousey remains atop the biggest names in women's mixed martial arts. The less-than-impressive end to her career didn't stifle her career status, with many fighters still referencing the 39-year-old, both positively and negatively .
One of those who has sided against Ronda Rousey is fellow judo practitioner Kayla Harrison. The pair have traded shots at each opportunity they get, but none come close to the destructive speech Rousey gave while attending the Most Valuable Promotions presser this week. "Gina [Carano] is so relevant that she's the whole reason that the 145-pound division even exists," Rousey said, defending her upcoming opponent against Harrison's comments.
"And I am so relevant that the only reason she has a job at the UFC is because of me. And Kayla is so irrelevant that she couldn't even keep the 145-pound division around. " "And honestly, she's just sour because no matter what she does or what she accomplishes, she can't change the fact that she has the charisma of a wet towel, and will always be in me and Gina's shadow.
So, the next time she wants to talk sh*t, 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 on to the belt in a neck brace. " View this post on Instagram Rousey's attack became more personal.
The martial arts icon-turned- pro wrestler recalled a less fortunate time for Harrison, in which she was forced to help pay for her groceries. "Then she goes on and says that I lied about training in judo in Canada in like 2006," Rousey stated. "Like, who the f*** are you to call me a liar?
