Mismong si Ronda Rousey na ang dumiskaril sa sariling legacy nang lisanin nito ang mixed martial arts makaraan ang dalawang magkasunod na talo sa bisa ng knockout, ayon kay UFC women’s bantamweight world champion Julianna Pena.

Hawak ni Rousey, ang Olympic bronze medalist UFC women’s bantamweight world title nang ma-knockout siya sa second round ni Holly Holm noong November 2015. Nagbalik laban siya matapos ang 13 buwan pero natalo rin sa loob lamang ng 48 segundo kay Amanda Nunes.

“I think what’s incredible is she opened up the door and was destroying people in 10 seconds and became a star because she was demolishing people in the first round. That’s great, but she got knocked out twice and never came back. So how legit is she?” saad ni Pena sa MMA Hour.

“She had to go to pro wrestling. I get that and I think that that’s great. But as a fighter and somebody who is competitive, I know that deep down it probably truly bothers her, the fact that she went away off of two knockout losses and never came back to make her name good.”

Matapos maging mixed martial artist lumipat si Rousey sa professional wrestling at lumagda ng kontrata sa WWE. Lumaban siya sa Wrestlemania 38 pero natalo kay SmackDown women’s champion Charlotte Flair. Ginawang katatawanan ni Pena si Rousey.

"She’s kind of a joke in the MMA world now because she is a sellout. It’s like, pro wrestling is fake, you get paid millions of dollars, and I get it. But for me, the real deal, I would say that that is in the UFC. If she ever wants any of that real smoke, I’m ready,” saad ni Pena.
