Ronda Rousey: Breaking an arm is like tearing apart a turkey with a crotch

“I’ve had both my elbows disclocated,” said Ronda Rousey. “I know exactly what that feels like. It hurts. It just hurts.

“I remember I got arm barred the first time and I remember being like ‘well, it’s already out, so I might as well try to get out, because it’s not going to get even more dislocated’ – that was my thought.

“And I tried getting out and it went back in, and then she popped it out again. So it is possible to get even more dislocated.

“Yah.

“But I ended up winning that fight.”

“Plus in Judo, I had to fight several more times that day. It was a gnarly day.

“Not everybody has that mentality where they are just like – no. You know what I mean?”

Rousey also discusses what is like to break an arm.

I don’t think it’s satisfying,” said Rousey. “It kind of grosses me out. I tell everybody, it kind of feels like tearing apart a turkey with a crotch. It really does. It’s gross. When you’re trying to get a turkey thing off and you feel all the cartilage and the tendons and the bones coming off, when you’re pulling it, it really is that exact feeling. It’s gross.

“But that’s the way it is. They’d try to do the exact same thing to me. I’ve felt it being done to my own arms.
