Ronda Rousey makes her Joe Rogan disdain clear with biting UFC comments

In her time away from the octagon, it appears that Ronda Rousey has not missed Joe Rogan one bit.

Long considered a chief pioneer of women’s MMA, Rousey had some harsh criticism and sour feelings for the lead color commentator of the UFC, who has been with the promotion since its early years in the mid-1990s.

While on the “Bertcast Podcast” with Bert Kreischer, the comedian asked Rousey, sporting a black eye, what she would need to be given in order to return to the octagon, when she slyly replied that she would beat Kreischer up right now in his backyard.

“I will beat the s–t out of you in your backyard for this house,” Rousey said to Kreischer. “Let’s go. … Right now. Now or never.”

When Kreischer replied that he was going to need to reach out to Rogan for tips on how to fight Rousey, she had some choice words for him.

“He wouldn’t know,” Rousey said. “He’s not an expert, he’s a fan with an audience.”

Kreischer half-heartedly chuckled and began defending his buddy by attributing Rogan’s competitive Taekwondo experience, as well as being a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt.

But Rousey was having none of that.

“He never fought,” Rousey replied, saying there’s a difference between training and actually making the walk to the octagon. “That’s not fighting.”

While Rogan has never formally fought in the octagon, he is widely regarded as a strong grappler and there are even some clips of the former “Fear Factor” host teaching former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion Georges St. Pierre spinning back kick techniques back in 2011.

Rogan was also scheduled to fight in the UFC against actor Wesley Snipes in 2005, and was training for the bout though it never came to fruition.

Rousey is likely upset with Rogan stemming from a previous beef with the podcast host at the end of her career, which ended rather abruptly when she lost by TKO to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes.

She previously had made comments about Rogan’s lack of respect at the end of her UFC run.

“It was really disappointing to see how happily everybody turned on me and how people like Joe Rogan, who were crying in the ring about the honor of being able to call my fights, people I considered friends in the media, so quickly turned on me,” Rousey said last year to Chris Cuomo.

Rousey is also generally known for her great memory when it comes to people that she perceives as wronging her.

Rousey has had a testy relationship with the WWE as well after her departure from the professional wrestling promotion, which is now owned by the same parent company as the UFC.

The former women’s bantamweight champion has been training in mixed martial arts again in recent months, but she’s thrown cold water on the idea of her stepping back into competitive fighting.
