Ronda Rousey explains why she will never have an intergender fight in UFC

A few months back, the triple C of UFC - Henry Cejudo - sparked a new concept of intergender fight. He expressed his urge to go against the women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko inside the octagon. No wonder, the concept of a man fighting a woman grabbed a lot of attention but the fantasy match up never materialized. Former UFC Champion Ronda Rousey believes that an intergender fight is a bad fight and she would never do it.

In an interview with The Daily Beast, Ronda Rousey expressed her disapproval over the idea of an intergender fight. She said, “I don’t think it’s a great idea to have a man hitting a woman on television. I will never say that I will lose, but you could have a girl getting totally beat up on TV by a guy which is a bad image to put across.” 

The former bantamweight champion further added, “With all the football stuff that’s been happening, not a good idea. It’s fun to theorise about and talk about, but it’s something that’s much better in theory than fact.”
