Last week, it was revealed that former UFC superstar Ronda Rousey was essentially retiring from MMA to join the world of the WWE.
Via USA Today.
Two people close to Rousey told USA TODAY Sports that she is finalizing details of her move to WWE. The people requested anonymity because the switch has not been announced.
Former porn star turned sports pundit Mia Khalifa had some thoughts about the former UFC women’s champion deciding to end her MMA career to join the WWE.
This is where her career will go to die, I have no respect for the WWE, I don’t think it’s not a real sport. It’s embarrassing.” It’s choreagraphy…That’s embarrassing, you go from real fights to wearing a sequin unitard to pretending to fight…She should get a show on ESPN or Bravo or something and train people to fight and do something respectable.

Former WWE star Hurricane Helms didn’t take to kindly to Mia’s criticism about professional wrestling.
I’m not gonna get upset that a Porn Star doesn’t respect Pro Wrestling. She’s entitled to her opinion. Our bodies take a pounding. and well … so does hers. 😁👍🏻 https://t.co/HGl4l6ksGG

She’s entitled to her opinion. I wouldn’t say she’s entitled to be ignorant though. Not everyone has to like everything. Non issue. 😁👍🏻 https://t.co/U88RgXr3O3

Mia’s take is pretty bad here. While it is probably a step down for Ronda to join the WWE there’s nothing wrong in not wanting to get your face bashed in for money. While many people hate on the WWE it’s no different than acting in a movie or filming a tv show guest spot. Ronda will make millions of dollars and not have to suffer with having to worry about getting knocked out.
