The former UFC star Ronda Rousey failed to capture the WWE SmackDown Women’s title against Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania. ‘The Baddest Woman On The Planet’ had won the women’s Royal Rumble match to secure the title shot but she was unsuccessful. Recently, Julianna Peña, who won the UFC women’s bantamweight belt off Amanda Nunes in December last year, had traveled to Dallas to witness WrestleMania 38.
Julianna Peña opens up on Ronda Rousey
In an interview on The MMA Hour, she spoke about Ronda Rousey and Peña was asked if she thought Rousey would ever return to MMA. She took multiple shots at the former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship as Peña said:
“No. That’s what I’m saying, she is kind of a joke in the MMA world now. Because she’s … what’s the word? A sell-out. A little bit of a sell-out there. I mean I guess I understand? It’s pro wrestling, it’s fake, you get paid millions of dollars. But for me, for the real s**t, for the ‘You’re the real deal’ … I would say that’s in the UFC and if she ever wants any of that real smoke, I’m ready.”
However, Peña did credit Rousey with having a solid match against Charlotte Flair before making one suggestion.
She said:
“Yes I thought she had a great match, I thought she was very good … But she needs to be more comfortable in her skin or needs to figure out different attire because every move that she does, there’s a wardrobe fix. She’s pulling her pants down, she’s pulling her bra up, every move is followed by a wardrobe change so she can be comfortable in whatever she’s wearing … You didn’t see Charlotte Flair one time touch anything she was wearing, it was all about the match.”
