“MMA fans and media are the most ‘what have you done lately for us’ crowd of any sport,” Rousey told Bert Kreischer on his podcast (transcribed by MMA Fighting). “You look at WWE and they have such a reverence for their legends. In MMA, it’s like the second that you’re not on top, you’re not sh*t and you never were sh*t. Chuck Liddell, when he’s on top, ‘He’s the best, he’s the best.’ The second that he loses, ‘Oh Chuck Liddell ain’t sh*t, he never was sh*t. Anderson Silva, oh my God he was almost like a mythical creature for a while. He was like this ninja, and he would hypnotize everyone in front of him. The second he loses, ‘Anderson ain’t sh*t, he never was sh*t.’ Fedor Emelianenko, one of the greatest ever. The second he loses, ‘Fedor ain’t sh*t, he never was sh*t.’”
“I think the only reason why MMA fans have their lips so firmly planted at the base of Khabib’s c*ck is because he retired before he reached his limit,” Rousey (12-2) said. “If he kept fighting until he reached his limit, everybody would be ‘Khabib ain’t sh*t, he never was sh*t’. They’re like that with everybody. Name one person. ‘Brock [Lesnar] ain’t sh*t, he never was sh*t.’ Name one past champion that has the kind of respect that the current champions do. It’s really sad because I think it encourages people to get out while they’re peaking and leaving and taking all of that equity with them instead of passing it on to whoever’s next to take up the mantle.”
