Former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey refused to answer questions about her future during a recent interview with ESPN.
On Tuesday, Rousey was in attendance at a WWE event in Las Vegas. At the event, Rousey’s close friend, Shayna Baszler, was competing in the finals of the Mae Young Classic, a tournament that featured 32 female wrestlers from all around the world.
After the event, ESPN did an interview with Rousey, and the former UFC champion refused to talk about herself.
“You know what? I don’t want to come to Shayna’s event on Shayna’s night and talk about myself,” Rousey said. “I just want to keep tonight all about her. And go, Shayna Baszler.
“I’m just so proud of her and all the work that she’s done, and to really put in over the years, coming up through the indie scene, and going and fighting in Japan. Everything that she’s done has been to prove to herself and to everyone else that she’s done the work to deserve to be here. I think she really proved that to every single person watching tonight.”
Baszler went on to lose in the finals of the Mae Young Classic. She was defeated by Japanese star Kairi Sane.
