\u201cchauvinist prick.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\nRousey actually feels like she wasn\u2019t critical enough, telling Fight Culture that Campbell\u2019s inability to maximize talent isn\u2019t limited to just female fighters.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was extremely validating especially after Hunter Campbell told Gina he didn\u2019t know he was going to market a couple of 40-year-olds to her, that\u2019s what he said,\u201d Rousey said. \u201cSo it was really nice to kind of take that comment and throw it into his face.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not that he doesn\u2019t know how to market us, it\u2019s he doesn\u2019t know how to market f*cking anybody, and he missed a huge opportunity letting us go because now he, in his own arrogance, basically allowed us to create the Lamborghini to his Ferrari and he created the hugest rival that the UFC is ever going to have just because he\u2019s so arrogant, stupid, and chauvinist.\u201d<\/p>\n
MVP MMA featured several other former UFC fighters, including BKFC star Mike Perry, Nate Diaz, Francis Ngannou, and Junior dos Santos. While it\u2019s unclear if the event is a one-off or the start of a series of events for Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix, it unquestionably made an impression on fight fans and possibly the UFC who have gone on to sign several fighters that competed on the May 16 card, including Salahdine Parnasse and Robelis Despaigne (Namo Fazil has also been called up to compete on the upcoming season of Dana White\u2019s Contender Series).<\/p>\n
Rousey was also asked about former Strikeforce boss Scott Coker returning to fight promotion and she spoke positively of the possibility.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the more competition the better,\u201d Rousey said. \u201cThe more promoters that are getting into and it and getting serious the better.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that being a publicly traded company and having the fighters\u2019 best interests at heart is not\u2014You can\u2019t be legally obligated to maximize shareholder value and simultaneously have fighters\u2019 best interest in mind. It\u2019s impossible, so there needs to be other options for other fighters to have. Not that that can\u2019t exist, but that can\u2019t be the only option.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for the future of MVP MMA, Rousey hasn\u2019t committed to fighting again at all, much less on Netflix, but she hopes that Most Valuable Promotions promotes more events in the future and that Diaz is in tow.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll see,\u201d Rousey said. \u201cWe need to kind of reconvene and see what the future looks like at this point. I think everyone is just kind of, like, decompressing and getting back to post-that huge of event fight life and I think what I hope they do in the future, whether with me or not, is that they continue to make their fights a huge event. Every single one a single huge event because that\u2019s what\u2019s missing in MMA.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just becoming every week and background noise and it needs to be an event, so anything that they do next, whether I\u2019m involved or not, I hope that it\u2019s something huge and for something to be huge of that caliber again I think Nate also needs to be involved again. I think he needs to be a mainstay.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ronda Rousey wants to remind everyone what the UFC could have had.
