As interesting as the upcoming May 16th Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano<\/a> fight card on Netflix is, the real heat is being generated by a potential fight that\u2019s not even on the card: Ronda Rousey vs. Kayla Harrison.<\/p>\n

Rousey and Harrison were both Olympic level judokas training together under the U.S. judo program at the same time. Ronda earned an bronze medal in 2008, while Kayla would take gold at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics. Now Ronda is returning to MMA at a time where Kayla holds the women\u2019s bantamweight belt the UFC created for \u201cRowdy.\u201d That\u2019s generated a lot of chatter<\/a> between the two, most of it hostile.<\/p>\n

Rousey has said she plans to fight Gina Carano and then retire from competition again, but there\u2019s been so much trash talked between her and Harrison that it seems insane they wouldn\u2019t fight each other now. And the more that Harrison says,<\/a> the more Rousey threatens to shut her up \u2026 if only with her words for now.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s coming and talking s–t about me and Gina,\u201d Rousey said in a new YouTube video. \u201cDude, we\u2019re doing nothing but helping you. We\u2019ve done nothing but help you. I literally have like a vested interest in developing the heavier divisions. She says she can\u2019t make weight in her division anymore. It\u2019s taken years off of her life, all this stuff. And it\u2019s like, help me help you!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWho do you think would promote you at 145? F–king me. Who do you think would help you get paid? F–king me. Who do you think is helping you get paid more in the UFC now because you have someone to give you a competing offer?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m trying to feed you,\u201d she insisted. \u201cStop biting my f–king hand. I\u2019m trying to help you out, man. It\u2019s too early for this f–king s–t. But she\u2019s kind of like my brat little sister in a way where I\u2019m just like, \u2018Don\u2019t come for me, okay? Mamma\u2019s working. I\u2019m going to have to give you a learning if you\u2019re going to want to f–king start some s–t.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDude, you\u2019re not the biggest fight. Gina\u2019s the biggest fight. But it also benefits her, all of this. Now she\u2019s got a higher profile than she\u2019s ever had. You\u2019re welcome. Go figure out how to do something with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harrison is doing just fine. She\u2019s set to fight Amanda Nunes<\/a> sometime later this year in a bout that could secure her a strong spot in the women\u2019s GOAT discussion. Rousey is also doing great: she\u2019s undoubtedly making more money in one night with MVP than what Harrison has probably made in her entire UFC career. And so long as Kayla is contracted to the UFC and Rousey is unwilling to accept UFC pay, we\u2019ll have to accept these verbal back-and-forths as the closest thing to a real fight we\u2019ll get.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As interesting as the upcoming May 16th Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano fight card on Netflix is, the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":642666,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,40762,785,250320,85],"class_list":["post-642665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-fighting","tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","tag-mma","tag-ronda-rousey-vs-gina-carano-netflix-news-hub","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=642665"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642665\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/642666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=642665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=642665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=642665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
