Ronda Rousey talks arm bars, sex with other fighters and being scared
In an interview with Esquire titled “What I’ve Learned” the UFC’s first women’s champion Ronda Rousey discussed a number of things ranging from having her arm broken in a fight to sexual relations with other fighters. It wasn’t your typical interview with an MMA fighter and here are a few highlights.
On being scared…
People say to me all the time, “You have no fear.” I tell them, “No, that’s not true. I’m scared all the time. You have to have fear in order to have courage. I’m a courageous person because I’m a scared person.”
On I’ve been arm-barred…
I’ve been arm-barred and I let my arm be broken, and I didn’t tap, and I got out, and I still won that fight. F*ck ’em. I don’t care. An arm bar isn’t the end for me. The ligaments in both my elbows are so loose my arms just dislocate sometimes, just randomly. Because I’ve experienced it, I don’t fear it at all. It’s the people who haven’t been arm-barred who have that fear.
On having sexual relations with other fighters…
Hell no, I ain’t gonna hook up with no fighter. I know these guys. They’re like a sewing circle and everyone tells everyone everything.
