UPDATE: In a shocking revelation, former UFC and WWE star Ronda Rousey has taken a direct shot at commentator Joe Rogan during a recent episode of the “Bertcast Podcast” with comedian Bert Kreischer. The exchange has ignited discussions across social media and sports circles, showcasing a clear rift in their relationship.
During the interview, Rousey and Kreischer engaged in a light-hearted banter about her potential return to the Octagon, but the mood shifted when Rogan’s expertise was questioned. Kreischer humorously suggested asking Rogan for mixed martial arts tips, to which Rousey bluntly replied, “He wouldn’t know. He’s not an expert. He’s a fan with an audience. Never fought … Taekwondo is not fighting.”
This exchange highlights the growing tension between Rousey and Rogan, particularly after her tumultuous exit from the UFC following two major losses to Amanda Nunes and Holly Holm. Rousey previously claimed that Rogan and other prominent figures in the sport “turned” on her during her career’s low points.
Rousey, a bronze medalist in judo at the 2008 Olympics and a former women’s bantamweight champion, has had a storied career, including six successful title defenses and her induction into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2018. Her candid remarks about Rogan come as she continues to thrive in the wrestling world, having been a three-time women’s champion in the WWE.
The podcast episode is already trending, and fans are reacting strongly to Rousey’s remarks. Many are sharing their thoughts on social media, fueling speculation about her future in MMA and her relationship with Rogan. As discussions unfold, one question remains at the forefront: what does this mean for Rousey’s legacy in combat sports?
As the fallout from this interview continues, fans and analysts alike are watching closely for any further developments between Rousey and Rogan. Will this lead to more public exchanges, or could it open the door for an unexpected return to the Octagon? Stay tuned for updates on this evolving story.
