Ronda Rousey Put On A Bikini And Talked About How She Still Gets ‘Scared Of Fighting’

No, I don’t think that any of us would ever begin to suggest you look bad in a bikini, Ronda Rousey. Wow.

The UFC star’s comments during her photoshoot for the 2015 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue regarding her mentality in the octagon were pretty eye-opening, too.

You’ve got to imagine that any elite level fighter still feels a little tinge of fear before a fight like Rousey explains she does here, right? I mean that’s the stuff that drives them and makes them the best. When asked what made him such an amazing running back, Barry Sanders once replied something to the effect of, “because I hate getting tackled.”

It’s gotta be the same kind of mentality for Ronda Rousey. Not one to want to get beaten up and injured, well, her only other choice is to be the one giving out the beat downs.

Ronda Rousey is pretty confident ahead of her title defense bout with Bethe Correia in what is sure to be a HEATED UFC 190 face off on August 1st at 10PM EST.
