Lesnar: Rousey a super athlete in a weak division
Brock Lesnar: “I’m not taking any talent away from her at all…but I think she’s a super beast — a super freak in the women’s division.”
While appearing on ESPN’s Sportscenter yesterday, Brock Lesnar was asked about Ronda Rousey, who replied that he was super impressed by her, but that she was fighting in a weak division:
“I think she’s a super athlete in a weak division. I really do,” Lesnar said while appearing on ESPN on Tuesday. “She is a man amongst women in the women’s division. I take my hat off to her.”
“She’s doing an excellent job at what she’s doing,” Lesnar said. “I don’t know how she’s juggling everything — movies and this, that and the other thing, going to Brazil and kicking butt over there and doing all the stuff she’s doing. My hat’s off to you, Ronda.”
All the compliments aside, Lesnar can’t ignore the obvious, however, when addressing Rousey’s current run in the UFC where she’s blitzing opponents in a matter of seconds and only one person has ever taken her past the first round in her entire 12-fight career.
Rousey is the best of the best, but according to Lesnar, she’s carrying an AK-47 while her opponents always seem to show up with nothing more than their fists and a prayer.
“I’m not taking any talent away from her at all,” Lesnar stated, “but I think she’s a super beast — a super freak in the women’s division.”
