Despite Becoming Friendly with Ronda Rousey, Shayna Baszler Still Wants to Fight Her
By: Sherdog.com Staff
Shayna Baszler, on “Beatdown,” discussing her relationship with Ronda Rousey, who coached her on “The Ultimate Fighter”:
“We’re friendly and everything, but I don’t think she takes any offense [that] I told her the whole season that I was going to see her across the cage one day. We actually joked about the epic trashtalking battles we could have with each other. She knows and I know, and I think again, it’s something only as a fighter you’d understand. I think the fact that we are friends means that we’re going to try to beat the snot out of each other even more so than before.”
