UFCs nyaste mästare; ”Rowdy” Ronda Rousey, blev mästare i kvinnlig bantamvikt efter att hon flyttats över från Strikeforce. Med ett perfekt MMA-rekord på sex vinster, alla via armbar i den första ronden, har hon ännu inte mött en motståndare som utsatt henne får svåra situationer. Hennes UFC-debut blir ett titelförsvar mot Liz ”Girl-Rilla” Carmouche på UFC 157. Trots det har hon redan spekulerat kring framtida möjligheter i UFC. I en intervju med MMA Fighting berättade Rousey att hon gärna hade agerat coach i en säsong av The Ultimate Fighter.
”I’d love going on TUF,” berättade Rousey. ”It would be very interesting, whether we would coach guys or girls. It would be really good for people to see a woman in the position of coaching the men and the men respecting the women. That would be very positive.
”If it was all women, I think it would be hilarious if Dana [White] had to deal with the girls having ‘girl issues.’ You know, if someone was like ‘I can’t fight, I have cramps!’ and see him lose his mind. He would lose his mind if he had to deal with girl stuff, I don’t doubt that some issues would come up. So just for my own personal amusement, I think it would be really funny. But I also think all guys would be really fun, extremely positive. I’m open to anything.”
UFCs vd Dana White är positivt ställd till förslaget, och ser Rouseys rival Miesha ”Cupcake” Tate som en potentiell motståndarcoach.
”It could happen,” sa White. ”If there’s two people who would probably coach, you kick [the idea] around, this could happen, that could happen. If they did, it could be her and Miesha. You know, we’ll see. Timing has a lot do with it.”
Rousey möter Carmouche på UFC 157 den 23:e februari, vill ni se en Ultimate Fighter säsong med ”Rowdy” och Tate som coacher?
