UFC:s bantamviktsmästare Ronda Rousey har på senare tid ägnat sig åt att vara tränare under inspelningarna av The Ultimate Fighter 18 och i en nyligen genomförd chat på Facebook berättade hon om sin upplevelse.
– It’s a lot more work than I thought it would be, and it’s a lot more emotionally taxing than I thought it would be. You care a lot about these kids. I just felt like any kind of heartbreak or triumph, whatever they’re going through, I share in it. It’s exhausting going through that over and over and over with every competitor. You’re just so emotionally invested in every person that it really takes a lot out of you.
Rousey delade även med sig av sina tankar kring säsongen som är den första där både män och kvinnor intagit huset och tävlar sida vid sida.
– Surprisingly, it is much more professional than you would have thought. I wouldn’t say it’s an overly sexual season, but I think it’s a much more emotional one,” she said. ”So far, it’s tiring, and it’s every day. It’s been a very exciting season, but it has also been very taxing on everybody. So I think we’re all going to be very happy to get home, but I’m sure all the fans will be very happy with the result.
Kommande säsong av The Ultimate Fighter kommer att krönas av matchen mellan Rousey och hennes rivaliserande tränare Miesha Tate.
