Rousey Says UFC Debut Was Bigger Than WrestleMania
Rousey recently took part in an interview with the UFC’s Megan Olivi. She compared her UFC debut to main eventing WrestleMania. According to Rousey, her UFC debut felt bigger than WrestleMania.
“Yeah, [WrestleMania 35] felt big,” Rousey said. “I think it just has to do with the time and the perspective. Me and Liz Carmouche felt bigger to me.”
“Even though it was years ago and not as many people watched, it was at the Honda Center which holds maybe 16k-20k compared to WrestleMania where it was in front of maybe 80k people and millions watching. I just felt me and Carmouche was the most pivotal moment had to happen that way or women’s MMA would have ended before it started.”
