Video: Taz Defends His Comments About Ronda Rousey vs. Holly Holm Being Fixed

As noted, former WWE/ECW/TNA star Taz said on Monday’s edition of his radio show that the fight between Ronda Rousey and Holly Holm at UFC 193 was fixed. Taz has since received a ton of negative reaction to his comments.

 


 

Taz returned to his radio show on Tuesday to defend his comments, which you can read here:

“I don’t really want to get into the whole thing, I’ve moved on. I’ll tell you this. To me, I gave an opinion. I gave an opinion and I showed no disrespect towards the athletes and I said that in my commentary on the show 24 hours ago right here. I would never, ever, in a million years do that because I am an MMA fan. I respect all athletes. I don’t care if you’re a pro football player, a pro baseball player, a pro wrestler, a cricket player, an MMA fighter, a golf athlete, a NASCAR driver … I don’t care what you do. I respect that. If you’re an athlete at any level, someone who puts the time in and works and sacrifices, I can appreciate that because I did that.”

“‘Ohh, you’re from the worked world, you’re from pro wrestling, that’s all fake! Oh, that’s why you think that!’ But for those who have done their homework on my history, I spent some time since I’m a young kid in a couple of dojos in my day grappling before it was called MMA. I spent a lot of time kind of taking MMA or judo and ju-jitsu and incorporating it into professional wrestling into my style, into my own niche, because I was an undersized professional wrestler. So I had to catch on somehow. So to come at me, that I don’t know MMA, and ‘I don’t respect you anymore Taz’ – that’s the one I was getting the most. ‘I lost all the respect for you!’

“You know what, kiss my ass, how about that? Okay? You can kiss my ass if you lost respect for me.”
