På bara några år Ronda Rouseys karriär blåst upp som en ballong. Nu talar hon ut om fans, haters och hur hon ser på sin karriär.
Det var i en intervju i podcasten The Joe Rogan Experience som ”Rowdy” Ronda Rousey delade med sig av sina tankar om kändisskapet. Till mångas förvåning anser hon sig vara en antagonist.

”I’m not the protagonist. I’m the antagonist. Because the protagonist just reacts. They do nothing. The whole storyline, the whole everything that goes on, is completely dependent on the antagonist… I’m the one who’s forcing everybody to do something, and so I like to think of myself as more of the heel, the bad guy who you somehow sometimes root for. You can’t help it a little bit sometimes, but sometimes you hate them. I think the fact that mixed emotions come out is one of the more interesting things. I’m not trying to have everyone like me. I’m trying to have everybody care about what I’m doing.”
Rousey tror också att det ständiga strålkastarljuset har talat till hennes fördel. Enligt henne har motståndarna möjligtvis varit förberedda rent idrottsligt, men har inte kunnat hantera den mentala press som det innebär att gå en titelmatch mot ”Rowdy”.
”I notice a lot of these girls, they would like to win a UFC belt and have that respect, but they’re not about that life… They don’t want that life. They don’t want that attention, scrutiny, pressure, and constant work and all of those things. They don’t want it. They want one thing without the other, but it all comes together… And that’s I think one thing that’s kind of working against them, is when they actually come in to fight me, they get a taste, a small taste, of what that life is going to be like when they’re a contender — because it is way more attention, way more this, way more that. And once you win the belt, it’s just doubled every single time. It’s more and more and more and more. And I don’t think any of them would actually be happy with that lifestyle. I don’t think they really, truly want it.”
Rousey nästkommande titelförsvar blir mot Holly Holm på UFC 193 i Melbourne, den 15 november.
Vad tror ni, kommer Holly Holm kunna hantera pressen i och utanför oktanen? Och kan ni komma på fler fighters som misslyckats med att nå toppen eftersom de inte har varit mentalt förberedda?
