UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey spoke about CM Punk and pro wrestling during the UFC 171 press conference over the weekend. Here are some highlights of what she said about:
If she would ever consider a career in pro wrestling:
“It’s fun. We’re all big fans, in the house. The ‘Rowdy’ in my name comes from ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper … Professionally? Who knows. Me and all the girls are huge fans. If they were all down to do something, I’d probably jump in, but I have the most hectic schedule in the universe right now.”
Hanging out with CM Punk:
“I was totally a dark and star-struck too. At first I didn’t recognize him. Then I didn’t have anything to say. I think the first thing I had to say was ‘I love you’, which is terrible and not smooth at all. He was super cool. He came and hung out for a bit, which I thought was all kinds of awesome.”
