Ronda Rousey has launched a scathing attack on fellow fighter Kayla Harrison, questioning her appeal and career trajectory. The former UFC champion, preparing for her own comeback fight against Gina Carano, expressed her disdain for Harrison’s remarks, stating that Harrison’s job in the UFC is solely due to Rousey’s influence.
Rousey asserted that Harrison lacks charisma, describing it as being “like a wet towel,” and claimed that Harrison will always be overshadowed by both herself and Gina Carano, regardless of her achievements. “Honestly, she is just sour because no matter what she does or what she accomplishes, she cannot change the fact that she has the charisma of a wet towel and will always be in me and Gina’s shadow,” Rousey stated.
Adding to her criticism, Rousey questioned Harrison’s current standing, suggesting that Paddy Pimblett is a bigger star. She also pointed out the pay disparity, asking, “Why is she getting paid less now than I was 10 years ago? Riddle me this, b*tch. Are you overvalued or are you underpaid?”
In response to Rousey’s sharp words, Kayla Harrison took to X, challenging Rousey to a fight. Harrison’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, also weighed in, highlighting Harrison’s extensive accolades, including two Olympic gold medals and multiple championship titles, and contrasting them with Rousey’s record, which includes recent knockout losses.
