Various: Ronda Rousey on Her WWE Career, Best of the Super Jrs Night 1&2 Results, Indies

Ronda Rousey Comments on Her WWE Career and Comparisons with Her MMA Career

UFC held a recent interview with Ronda Rousey and one of the topics discussed included her thoughts on her current WWE career and the comparisons with her former mixed martial arts career.

“It’s physical in a different way. Fighting is definitely… the stress from fighting is much, much more. I could get in a random fight… someone could walk into this room right now and I’ll beat the f*ck out of anyone in this planet but it’s the training camp and the weeks leading up to it and the press and just like, going to sleep every night thinking about it and all those things. That’s the real wear and tear I feel like. Not the physical part of it so much and of course, fights, you assume, ‘I’ll give myself at least a month to recover after that’ so it’s a peaking system. You allow yourself to peak and crash. With WWE, it’s just a grind and it’s non-stop and I did the easy version. Everyone else does like 300 days a year. Their bodies don’t get to rest as much as ours in MMA, but their minds get to rest a lot more than we do in MMA. I feel like there’s no pressure on anything. The only thing that compares to mental strain in MMA is the Olympics, and that’s the one highest because you train your whole life and you have one day for all of your training and all of your hard work to pay off or it was all for nothing. You can get another fight in a couple months. So nothing compares to that and so I think I went from the highest stress possible to less and less and then, yeah. I’m older now. I don’t wanna stress out about anything anymore.”
