Today, Valeria is joined by the one and only Ronda Rousey. Uncensored and finally speaking her truth, Ronda Rousey is in a new era of her life, moving on from and exposing the UFC and WWE. Ronda also opens up about the dark time in her life after losing her fight with Holly Holms, the abusive dynamics between coach and athlete, and how motherhood has changed her for the better. Join Valeria and Ronda as they dive deep into self-ownership and authenticity, particularly in the face of public demonization and personal tragedy.
Ronda completely transformed the world of martial arts, most notably, through her record-setting career as the UFC’s first and most dominant female fighter. She was the first woman inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame, in 2018, the same year she exploded onto the WWE scene. During her time in WWE, she held the Raw, Smackdown, and multiple tag team titles. Ronda is also a New York Times bestselling author and an actress.

People turned against her bc she was a spoiled, unsportsmanlike brat. Things like ignoring handshakes at ends of fights.
well if my oponent posted shit about me prior to the match i would have ignored it as well....Go fight with your parents
Ronda i love you. I was secretly hoping u were still training to make a comeback. Not all ufc fans are the same💙
I actually respected her not shaking her hand. She gave her credit on the mike for her fighting but said she needed to apologise to the people she and her team racially insulted before she gets personal respect from me. Fair enough I say.
I completely agree with you. Especially avoiding the press and being there for her fans. I was never a fan Dana white: ‘she was never a friend of mine’
@@aobakwemasilela4403 when did Holly say anything negative about Ronda? Holly is one of the most respectable fighters lol You cult members are weird
Did I just hear her say she's the greatest fighter who ever lived?
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
She still accomplished more than you ever will on your miserable life. Crazy
Her concussion made her forget Amanda Nunes exists.
@@clintkennedy8387 Nunes lost plenty, Ronda is allowed to think what she wants about her time, she achieved more than any of you
Every championship level fighter thinks this
She could not have handled those losses worse than she did.
won more than you ever will
@@honeybadgerftuwdamn you’re really pressed about people not liking Ronda huh? lol defending her on every comment.
@@MJack2255 damn you're really pressed about people who are pressed about other not liking Ronda neh ? Go chow morvite....
@@honeybadgerftuw zip it Anna
@@honeybadgerftuw stick to video games, little one
9 years later and she still won’t give holly her credit lol 9 years with zero accountability & zero self growth. Brutal. Yikes
You expecting a woman to have any accountability? lol Women and accountability are like oil and water
Holly exposed her and Amanda ended her, she was arrogant and cocky and got a swift kick in the tail from karma
"karma" lmfao guess karma got Amanda when Pena finished her, guess karma got holly when she got ko'd by amanda
@@honeybadgerftuw wow you're ignorant... karma in the sense that Ronda was extremely disrespectful to her opponents before Holly embarrassed her... now 🤫...
@@honeybadgerftuw how does that change the fact Ronda got smoked?
👏
oh yes
Damn, she's a legend in her own mind...If ronda acted like a mature adult and wasn't such a nasty person, people might like her. First step would be taking some accountability and quit blaming everyone else. You aren't even the best fighter of your era let alone best ever...just let her go by the wayside so we don't have to see this utter crap in our feeds...
Not even the greatest female fighter Amanda proved that lmfao you should interview her next
Who?
Nah Valentina beat her
@@RainReignsX lol Ronda, is that you? 😂
@@katelyn9182 2-0 cry
This clown really just say she's the greatest fighter that ever lived, jheeez CTE hitting hard in this one
She’s not very bright 😅
No, she’s extremely insecure as well…all about validation
This was tough to watch. Ronda obviously has CTE. The way she’s slurring her words and the lifelessness in her voice… she didn’t used to talk like that. She was a great Olympian and UFC champion, but CTE is the steep price she paid for her multi-Hall of Fame career. I appreciate her honesty, and I wish her nothing but the best.
mate you really need to broaden your perspective and witness the narcissm you look nothing but a gullible fool saying all that
Holy crap you actually believed her😂
@@tyson6819 her 20 fans are loyal to a fault 😂
It's called day drinking
She had the opportunity to teach all the little girls who she inspired how to handle loss in your life. Instead she taught them to hide and point fingers...woo what a role model...
Maybe she didn't have someone to teach her how to handle a loss though.
@@colinanderson3757ya her mother would have been very tough
Her book should be called victim/excuses. Her concussions did not make her stand for every other fight. She is extremely below average on the feet, on the ground she had one move. Below average fight but when your sleeping with president of company they market you like your something special.
Now she's out there trying to ruin a gus life cuz he was joking around pulling on her strings on her pants
The problem with MMA is if you lose two in a row, your a piece of shit and all your previous wins gets discredited.
@@michaelyoon9355ever heard of connor mcgregor?
@@Zayrob7 yes, the majority of people believe he is overrated now, no?
I don't follow it anymore.
She is a sore loser, and she was a sore winner. As for the factors contributing to a loss, if she had a valid reason not to fight, the time to address that is before the fight.
💯
Thanks Holly for giving us that moment.
Most overrated fighter in UFC history.
She was weak minded and at the FIRST sign of adversity, Quit. She came back and got coddled, special privileges and got smoked even faster and easier then quit again. At what point are we gonna admit she was very good during a time when woman’s MMA was at its all time weakest. Do we really think she’d have the same career she did with the woman in MMA now? She should be grateful and finally show humility and grace now double down.
Delusional. Rhonda was at the right place at the right time when women’s UFC was introduced. Nowhere NEAR being considered one of the greatest fighters that’s ever lived. How out of touch she is makes me envy her even more.
Envy
@@RainReignsX correct, shouldn’t have used the word hate Fixed
Slight correction she is the reason women are in the UFC. She deserves credit for changing Dana Whites mind. She's far from the greatest I agree.
She needs a reality check. If she was in the UFC today, she would be a sub .500 fighter. They also loved her at the time, all guys wanted her for some reason.
Well also remember she was the first big female name in mma, she just rode that imo
@@systemofadown945 She was legitimately a nightmare for people. Thing is, the sport is constantly evolving and she was armbar queen. Once she started trying to strike more etc people caught on that she was more one dimensional than they thought. She sadly wasn't able to adapt
@@brandongratta9040 yea a nightmare by coincidence i guess, not sure why joe rogan cried and said she was the best human ever thought...
@@systemofadown945 him saying she would beat Mayweather too 😂. Got a judo champ believing she was the best boxer ever
@@brandongratta9040 she literally fought soccer moms and when the real fighters arrive she got her ass clapped bad as fuck
She can't be humble even after all these years.. let it go Ronda, you were never good.
whether you think she is skilled or not - she made waves in the fight scene for women. her grandiose energy (that i admire) was necessary and she can be as proud as she wants. she’s earned that right. she gave a lot of herself to the world and empowered so many women when she didn’t have to.
@marygreenwinter She definitely paved the way for better women fighters, but her thinking she is the greatest fighter of all time is laughable 😂
@@MMAntikz But it's a fact show me the best
Not the greatest but she beat Meisha twice and beat Alpha Cat and Bethe in like a minute total as well as Alexis Davis and Sarah McMann with no adversity even. She was definitely good.
@@user-yy5sn2gk9r Ronda is not the greatest fighter of all time... you're delusional or trolling if you honestly believe that... 😂 GSP, Silva, Jones, Nunes are just a few who are clearly more accomplished in the sport and better fighters
It's insane that a clip from this podcast has got 16.5 million views on Twitter at this moment and the podcast has got 15k
Oh my God the whole pooping in the litter box is just way too funny!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
All love and respect Ronda.
Ronda isnt even the best fighter in her division any more 😂😂😂😂😂
yet you sat here watching her
@@honeybadgerftuwwhat’s that have to do with anything?
@@honeybadgerftuw Sit down simp. Running around every comment trying to be a little panzy. Rhonda Rousey was over rated. She was a bully and was in the UFC during a time where the BEST women fighters were still being discovered. When real fighters arrived, they smacked her silly 2x times in a row. Wasn't even a CLOSE loss, she got destroyed by Holmes AND Nunez devoured her. Even I am here to laugh at her interview. She isn't disliked because she lost, shit, Nate Diaz got bashed non stop, we still LOVE Nate, heart of a champion with or without the belt. Attitude of a champion. Rhonda had a free run and a good payday. She disrespects opponents, so now, no one respects her. Karma a bitch. Not even top 15.
She acting like victim bro thats so ridiculous. She was disgustedly disrespectful and had an overconfident annoying personality. When she lost she hid and cried and acted like a little kid. Thank God she gone 😊
Miss your lifestyle vlogs :D But also nice you make these kind of vlogs :) :)
Key to martial arts practice is mindfulness, self-awareness, humility. It's these qualities that enable you to be effective and continue to improve. It seems Ronda made a career of martial arts without ever cultivating these qualities and it finally caught up with her. Even after all this time in retirement, time to reflect and mature, she's more clueless than ever.
Holly Holm is a true fighter and professional. She was a champion in boxing and thrashed the fraud pretty easily. Why didn't the concussion bother her b4? Excuses! Long live Holly Holm and Viva Nuevo Mexico
She did more for the UFC woman’s division THEN an any other female fighter. These are just facts. She Elevated the UFC when she was knocking ppl out in 60 seconds also a fact.
And she’s still not the GOAT. Not even close
@@samael6903 I agree she’s not the Goat but she’s the sole reason that Dana White started the woman’s division this is fact. Every female who’s making bank in the UFC right now can Thank her she opened the door for that. She brought a whole bunch of new people to the sport that never watched. Her and Connor did more for the UFC than any other fighters ever did.
@@samael6903 She’s a HOF for sure every female fighter should pay homage to her. She speaks her mind she’s not fake what you see is what u get. Wears her ❤️ on her sleeve. 6 successful title defenses, Olympian.
@@kenkanifffromconnecticut9921 we’re not talking about any of that though lol the topic in question is her all time status, which is nowhere near the top
THANK YOU!
She was obnoxious. She lost cleanly to Holly Holmes and Amanda Nunes woman handled her in her last match. Greatest fighter ever? not a chance.
Holy taught her respect the hard way concussion or no concussion.. happens when you go self proclaimed super human
And you're still a little angry mark who doesn't understand fight promotion, want the ufc CAGE fighters to act like a miss america when that doesn't SELL
@@honeybadgerftuw you’re the one defending her in every single comment 😂 does she pay you?
LOVE RONDA. SHE IS A PIONEER AND A ONE IN A MILLION. ALWAYS GRATEFUL FOR WHAT SHE GAVE US AND THE RUN SHE MADE. The host is also amazing and empathetic.
Actually an L interview.
I love hearing from people who have been in the headlines and who have become household names. There's something about hearing directly from them that really rounds out what we see in the media-or in some cases completely changes your perspective. Thanks for this interview!
Exactly! Getting to hear her story directly from her was such an honor and pleasure.
@@ValeriaLipovetskylol she's not this nice person I think she is
@@Bls-of1ld if only she cared what you think....pity.
I started jiu jitsu after seeing Ronda in the ufc coz I wanted to learn how to do an arm bar! Haha best thing I’ve done 😊👍🏾 Also she was definitely the UFC’s show pony for ages. I haven’t seen any other female fighter on every talk show since her.
Amanda Valentina Cyborg Zhang Joanna Rose Ronda (MAYBE)
You forgot Valentina Shevchenko
1°Ronda Rousey 2°Amanda Nunes 3°Valentina 4°Rose 5°Joanna 6°Cris Cyborg 7°Zhang 8°Miesha Tate 9°Holly Holm
I'll probably throw Holly Holm somewhere there before Ronda too.
@@danielhenriques8056 hey do we watch same mma?
Holly kicked her so hard, she forgot the concussion happened after.
"I wasn't there" is just a classic by now
Ronda is perfect example of how not to handle a loss
@jermainewright1757 you obviously hate anyone criticizing your overhyped hero. She's not going to touch your privates Jermaine
She hate herself more!
Just when I thought I couldn’t dislike her any more…..
Good interview.
Thank you 🙏🏻 glad you enjoyed it!
I call BS on all the excuses, no fighter gets to ANY fight at 💯 level…the sport caught up with her, plain and simple, she was a judo wrestler and the moment she got paired with well rounded fighters it showed her lack of skill.
Two legendary ladies 💕 absolutely love this
thank you for watching 🫶
U should of asked her why shes trying to ruin innocent ppls lives...ask her if she knows jussie smollet
Wow I randomly ran into this podcast. Admittedly, I am a Rousey fan but I did not know that this new book has been released nor have I head about this podcast (First time hearing this girl with a strong accent). With that being said, My Fight Your Fight is literally one of my favorite reads. I own both the audio book and a hard cover book. Ronda is really inspirational, and this is coming from an mma fan who is a freaken business-school professor... so you know Ronda's message and story indeed does transcends. I will definitely be buying this new book of hers.
I truly loved the book and know you will too! Welcome to Not Alone 🫶🏻 I hope you enjoyed the episode
RONDA WHAT?? No but seriously... what??
I loved the episode but Ronda’s dirty shoes 👞 on the couch were driving me crazy😂
I'm too lazy to watch this whole thing. When did she say that silliness hahahaha
Holly still living rent-free in this bridge trolls mind
And more is on the way
Wow. Years later, she's still delusional and hasn't grown up at all.
dont watch the video then
@@Clint1977. No, dont upload the vid.
@@Clint1977.why not? Nothing wrong with watching how delusional some people can be.
@@Clint1977. some people don’t like to be in a bubble like you people
tf is it doing on KZhead with a comments section? Is it only for people who like it? Try to spend more time making sense of your life. @@Clint1977.
Someone tell her how fire she looks with those glasses, aging like wine
She still cant admit she lost.
She should rename the book to……WAAHHH
They will NEVER make me hate Ronda.....
Ugh I have so many feelings about this. I truly was a Ronda stan in her ufc days, and I still consider myself a fan and I have a tremendous amount of respect for her and what she’s accomplished. That said, the secret concussion thing and ~I fell down the stairs a week prior and that’s why I lost~ is just not something I am buying and it’s very disappointing. It reads to me as validation-seeking, excuse-making, intentional self-delusion, etc. Not to mention the fact that these statements inherently attempt to negate Holly’s well-deserved win to some degree. Idk. It’s just not a dignified look or thing to do to both herself and Holly.
Tbh most people moved on. Bringing it back up and saying they're all haters and you're the greatest ever is bound to get eyes back on you for all the wrong reasons lol
wow she looks so young here
yall are so passionate about hating on someone to the point were youd watch her speak for a full hour only to comment nonsense....yall need to find a hobby.
Man shut up
Came here to see if the clip on X was out of context. Its not. The delusion is wild.
greatest fighter of all time 😂😂😂
❤🙌🙌
I dont get why ppl hate on her. You guys are so full of hate in your hearts. Shes an amazing woman and amazing fighter. She has so much value! Love her.❤
that's what I am saying! It's funny that most of the comments of hate are coming from men...
Julia and Shelby you are both idiots. That is all
@@KeyosuI back that statement! These dunces will excuse any bad behavior as long as it is a woman
She's far from the greatest fighter to have ever lived She's very delusional from all those concussions!
Nothing was funnier than rondas mean girl standup pose, footwork.or boxing skills😂
Her first book was great can’t wait to read this one
It’s a great read 🙌🏻❤️ link posted in description!
@@ValeriaLipovetsky I already ordered a book but thank you
she believes her own hype and got exposed by better fighters
Let her live her moment, she still deserves it,at least she exposed the perverts so that woman still there are safe,and you can't compare Amanda to anyone,her name says it all A-MANda
Did people really hate her and demonize her after the loss to Holly?
Stay off the weeedddd!! lol She thought she could box and was outboxed.
If you are fighting competitively and have a burning desire to be the champion and don't think you are the best fighter you probably never be champion. Conor's time has passed and he probably lose every fight going forward but still believes he is the greatest fighter ever.
I'm still mad she's sonya blade in mortal kombat
Poor Ronda is still concussed
The greatest fighter that ever lived of all time , ever . Better than mike tyson and muhammad Ali.
Loved watching her fight, but Holly and Amanda were head and shoulders beyond her in the striking realm. Ronda was a phenom on the ground, but she was never smooth as a boxer/striker.
Did she just say she used sex appeal 😂?
Nice interview, the comments is filled with so many Drews.
Yesss let me pop my popcorn in the microwave real quick ❤
Hope you enjoyed this one!
jajaja she´s still concussed
Greatest fighter who ever lived? But still making excuses years later, no growth in all that time? "mouth guard"? Still? Come on now. Give Holly her credit. RR was good but let's be real, it was timing and PR more than anything, certainly not the greatest fighter ever. Most delusional maybe
Love Ronda, great interview
All this time and she still can't get over the fact someone won in a fair fight against her, lol. She could at least tried a bit harder to live the "im the best of all time" lie in WWE but she sucks even on scripted fights, lol.
i wish her well.
🙏🏻❤️
Honestly....she suffered enough hatred.... Her delusions will be her biggest asset and liability
You would not even be the greatest fighter on the subway, on the airplane, in the grocery store line, etc. Still delusional I see. I bet you still think you could out-box Floyd? You could not carry his jock.
She would beat 99.9% of the female population. Yeah, she isn't the world's greatest fighter, but she put on some great fights.
she seems so loopy when she speaks and her eyes too, almost like she has concussion-like symptoms
Brilliant interview...thank you Ronda!!!
Glad you enjoyed it ❤ Thank you for watching!
From what I remember on TUF Ronda took the bait from Miesha. Miesha always got to Ronda way more than Ronda got to Miesha.
Rooting for you Ronda 🏅 your honesty is so rare and needed in this fake ass world.
Yeah, okay..... 🤡🤖
Ronda same reason can be other side. But beautiful talk.
Rowdy Ronda Rousey is the reason I started Watching UFC back again at that time I started 1994 through 2001 then lost interest got more into boxing But once I caught the Buzz of Rowdy Ronda Rousey got back in to it SO THANK YOU ROWDY RONDA ROUSEY LEGEND 💪🏿🏆👑💪🏿
Bro its 9 years, give holly the credit due and accept that you were outmatched. just saying yourself that you are the best is nothing but a coping mechanism and its so fuckin miserable
Still delusional after all this years
Pure arrogance
Well, that’s why they turned on you. 😅
lmao delusional
I think it would be great to talk a little bit about the person in the beginning. I’m five minutes in and you are discussing something that has happened to Ronda and I have no idea what has happened to her
Annnddddd she’s still insufferable
dont watch the video then ?
@@Clint1977. you re gonna stop us orrr?
Go RonRon, the greatest combat-artist to ever exist!
After all these years, she still can't come to terms with the fact that Beth, Holly, and Amanda are better than her. It's okay to admit defeat.
Ronda is and will always be my homegirl! She always keeps it 💯!
I loved speaking with her!
So let me understand this correctly. The doctors, apparently, knew you were concussed but agreed to keep it quiet and risk their careers and your LIFE just to let you continue to fight? C'mon Ronda, please stop. Own what happened to you. People will respect you far more if you own the truth and admit you simply got beat. Stop the bulls**t. This interview is painful to watch, and the interviewer is equally as pathetic. 🙄
