Stephie Haynes may do the best interviews in MMA, and she did a famous one for her Three Amigos Podcast with ‘Rowdy’ Bec Rawlings, and published it on BE, ahead of the Aussie’s fight with SeoHee Ham on the main card of UFC Fight Night 85 Saturday night. If you are a newcomer to the sport, be forewarned – ‘Rowdy’ Bec Rawlings is a Bogan. If you don’t know what that is, google it, or better yet, read this interview.
Rawlings has been out for nearly a year with a hip femoral neck fracture. Among many other topics, the fighter discussed recovery from that surgery, and from her breast augmentation surgery.
So happy with the work i had done in Mexico! Natural looking but still a dramatic change #nomoreittybittytitties pic.twitter.com/SRpSrKVgDX

“I was like, ‘F*** yeah. I can get fit in six weeks,’” she said. “I had just come from a fight, so three weeks after breast surgery, I was sparring at Alliance. [Laughs] I’ve had no problems at all. I guess these babies are durable.”
And in the pantheon of juvenile delights, what more appropriate a thing to go with breast augmentation surgery than a discussion of cameltoe?
@AngelaMagana1 My camel toe brings all the boys to the yard 😝

“The only thing I’m disappointed in is the weigh-ins,” said Rawlings. “I have to wear their bra and their underwear and I hate certain underwear. Dude, I’m notoriously known for cameltoe. This s***is not going to cover it [laughs].”
And as we are on a breast augmentation surgery and cameltoe run, what better to add than a video game?

“They were trying to make us look tough and intimidating, but they kind of made us look manly,” she said, accurately. “They definitely kind of messed up on our faces. I’m glad they gave me a six-pack because I haven’t had one of those since I was like 13-years-old [laughs], but I feel like they made me look like Alexander Gustafsson.”
And we will conclude the digital potato chip run with …
I really can’t stand the Sage/Paige show,” said Rawlings, echoing much of the hardcore fanbase. “I feel like I lose brain cells every time I watch a video or see a photo. It’s like it melts my brain. I don’t know what it is, and I don’t know them personally, but what I see of them on social media and things like that, I just feel like they have no substance. I feel like they’re just airheads that just smile and try to be cute for the camera.”
Rawlings is also a profoundly dedicated and serious professional fighter, and discussed what is in many ways a very difficult landscape at present.
“Obviously I do this sport because I love it, but I also have two kids that I have to support,” she said. “So I’ve got to do what’s best for me and my kids, so if that means going to another promotion, then I’m all for it, but we’ll just see. I’m happy with the UFC right now.”
And lastly, Bec is all weighed in and has a fight Saturday night.
“The difference between the people she’s fought, even in the UFC, is that I’m actually going out there to finish you,” said Bec. “I’m going out there to hurt you. I’m not going out there to compete just because I enjoy testing my body. I’m going out there to actually hurt you, and I feel like that’s going to make all the difference.”
