Rousey has already confirmed that new ground will be broken, with fighters to earn a minimum $40,000 purse<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And now the trailblazer has suggested that herself and Carano will shatter a record when their final purses are earned.<\/p>\n

She explained: “The biggest money fight is the biggest fight period. <\/p>\n

“And we [Kayla Harrison] honestly have very different definitions of greatness. <\/p>\n

“Mine is making history, making a cultural impact and influencing the future of the sport.<\/p>\n

“I’ve already won a record eight consecutive title fights, there’s nothing left for me to do in UFC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“So now me and Gina are smashing the record for the most women have been paid in combat sports.”<\/p>\n

Rousey is still one of the biggest commercial superstars despite her lengthy absence.<\/p>\n

She was often compared to Conor McGregor<\/a> during her rise, and after nine years out of the cage, interest is back peaking again.<\/p>\n

Ronda Rousey’s future after Carano fight<\/p>\n

Rousey is earning big for her clash with Carano as aforementioned, but is a brash-talker and a campaigner for fighter’s rights.<\/p>\n

It is expected she won’t fight again unless her new rivalry with her opponent requires a rematch.<\/p>\n

And now ‘Rowdy’ believes she could help team up with promoter Paul to go up against Dana White<\/a> and the UFC.<\/p>\n

She said: “I mean, I think this is really my audition to see if [Netflix\/MVP] would like me to be in that role.<\/p>\n

“I think that, honestly, nobody’s more capable than I am and that I would do an incredible job. <\/p>\n

“I’ve basically been Dana’s apprentice this whole time, and I’ve followed him around and see how he does it.<\/p>\n

“But we’ll see how this goes, and we’ll see if we can work something out.”<\/p>\n
