UFC champ Ronda Rousey says fighting career could be over in two years

BAD MMA News — Fri, 09 Aug 2013 03:05:00 +0000

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey does not believe for one second that her upcoming acting roles will distract her from focusing on her fighting career. But Rousey admits she thinks the clock could be ticking on her time in the cage. “I said from the beginning that I wok in quadrennials,” Rousey told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “I do four-year cycles. I think I’ve got two years left in me, realistically, if I’m going to do this like an Olympic run.” Rousey (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) has fought just once for the UFC, but she’s become a full-fledged superstar for the company. She was recently in Seattle as the face of the partnership between the UFC and the promotion’s official wireless provider, MetroPCS. Then it was off to Los Angeles, New York and Chicago as part of the UFC World Tour 2013, where she and Miesha Tate (13-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) helped promote their upcoming UFC 168 clash

After near-upset of Rousey, UFC on FOX 8′s Liz Carmouche adjusts to her new life

BAD MMA News — Tue, 16 Jul 2013 21:45:00 +0000

There were a couple things people thought they knew for sure when Liz Carmouche faced Ronda Rousey in the UFC’s first women’s bout at UFC 157 in February. One was that Carmouche stood absolutely no chance against Rousey, who entered the fight as a 12-1 favorite over the little-known underdog from San Diego. The other was that no matter how the fight turned out, it was a historic event that would change both women’s lives forever. At least one of those predictions turned out to be true, in a way. These days Carmouche isn’t exactly a superstar.

Anderson Silva: “I’ve Already Done Everything There is To Do”

BAD MMA News — Thu, 04 Jul 2013 15:00:25 +0000

UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva has accomplished everything there is to accomplish in mixed martial arts. He has raised the bar and made us redefine what is considered greatness. He has become the standard that all future fighters will be compared to and ultimately judged by. Silva (33-4) puts his undefeated UFC record and middleweight title on the line on Saturday against challenger Chris Weidman (9-0), but to Silva it’s just another fight. “A fight is a fight, and this is another fight,” said Silva on a recent media conference call. The 38-year-old Brazilian superstar has nothing left to prove and fights because it’s what he loves to do. “Whatever I should have already done in the sport I’ve done. Win or lose, I’ve already done everything there is to do and now it’s just a matter of doing what I love to do,” he said.
