Joe Rogan: Jag skulle inte ha sagt att Rousey kan slå hälften av de manliga bantamviktarna

Joe Rogan intervju

När den forne mästarinnan Ronda Rousey befann sig på toppen av sin karriär och dominerade sin division spekulerade man mycket om vem hon skulle kunna besegra en manlig motståndare.

En utav de som var säker på att Rousey skulle kunna lyckas med detta var UFC-kommentatorn Joe Rogan, som tidigare hävdade att den dåvarande mästarinnan skulle kunna segra mot halva den manliga bantamviktsdivisionen.

Rogan står dock fast vid en del av sitt gamla uttalande, vilket han berättade om under sin podcast ’The Joe Rogan Experience’:

I’m not happy that Ronda Rousey lost, but in a way, it makes things easier because there was a bunch of f—king people that were going, ‘Oh yeah, what about Ronda Rousey? She’d beat… And I made the mistake of saying — hyperbole, I’m the master of hyperbole, I exaggerate all the time — I was like, ‘She could probably beat half the men bantamweights in the UFC.’

No, that’s definitely not true. I shouldn’t have said it at the time. Now, it’s definitely not true.

She could beat a few, that aren’t good outside the sport. Look, if she gets guys on the ground she could f—k a lot of people up. Her Judo is 100% legit, her armbars are amongst the best in the business, but people were always saying that. Now that she’s lost everyone’s relaxed with that.

People got upset when I said that I think she could beat a lot of men in her weight class. They don’t know. They’ve never rolled with a girl who is really good. Technique is paramount and her technique is so laser sharp.

Talking about a guy who is her weight and then even if he’s physically stronger than her, maybe he can hit harder, but how much of a technical advantage does she have on the ground? She could easily catch you in something in a scramble. Easily. She’s one, two, three, four steps ahead of you.

Rousey mötte senast Amanda Nunes under UFC 207 då hon gick med sin andra raka förlust via knockout.
