Ronda Rousey held a media day scrum at Glendale Fight Club and talked about the perfect scenario for her departure from professional MMA:
“I have this idea in my mind that my final fight would be just beating the crap out of Cris Cyborg and then when [UFC president] Dana [White] puts the belt on me the last time, I can take it off and hand it back to him,” Rousey said Thursday at a media day at Glendale Fighting Club.
“I guess the day that I really feel like I run out is the day I’ll be done,” Rousey said. “Right now, they’re lining up around the block. When the day comes when I feel like I’ve done all I could do and the women’s strawweight division is being so successful and competitive is one of the most encouraging thing that’s happened. That division has nothing to do with me and it’s thriving. Once I feel like women’s MMA is really self-sustaining and something I can see lasting for decades without me, then I’ll be able step away. Everyone who says ‘you’re running out of opponents,’ you better hope I don’t run out. Because then I’ll be done.”
