BAD MMA News — Sun, 06 Aug 2023 02:49:39 +0000

(Editor’s note: This story first published at Wrestling Junkie , part of the USA TODAY Network.) The superb video packages from the week prior to SummerSlam are shown again before Ronda Rousey makes her ring walk. Some cheers are mixed in, but it’s mostly boos greeting her. Conversely, it’s mostly cheers for Shayna Baszler as she heads toward the ring. There’s no cage for this MMA Rules match, but both women have on MMA gloves. They certainly are fighting like it’s MMA with strikes and takedowns to start. Rousey is able to take Baszler’s back and attempt an armbar, but Shayna makes it out and to her feet fairly quickly.

She’s kicking off the main card of UFC on FOX 15 opposite Felice Herrig . She’s got all the pieces in play to become one of the women’s division’s precious few well-paid superstars – if only she can win a few fights
