Ronda Rousey Raises Serious Concern for MMA Fighters; Find Out Why
Ronda Rousey has expressed some serious concern for MMA fighters. Read on to know what she has to say.
MMA is one of the most realistic and tough sports to be in, and the life of an MMA fighter is always on the edge. And who knows it better than the legend of the game, Ronda Rousey? The MMA legend spent six years of her wrestling career in this sport (2010–2016) and has a staggering record of 14 wins in 16 matches.
However, Rousey had always seen the flaws in the sports she was in, and she used to see how things were brushed under the carpet by the promotions, eventually putting the lives of fighters at risk. And now, the MMA legend has started to spill the beans on some serious issues in MMA and overall professional wrestling. And recently, she has spoken of a grave concern in MMA, which is worrisome for the fighters.
What did Ronda Rousey say?
The wrestling legend spoke about the head concussions that fighters in MMA and WWE face throughout their careers. Concussions or head injuries are more like slow poison, which seriously damages the brain of the wrestler if they keep happening for a while.
For MMA fighters, Ronda Rousey has said that concussions are very dangerous, and it’s high time fighters start speaking about them. "Cumulative neurological injury is just something that people don't talk about in MMA, which is something that also everyone is dealing with at a different pace,” she said.
She spoke from her own experience and the impact of concussions on her personal life. Ronda has always been straightforward when it comes to speaking about things that endanger the lives of wrestlers.
She said that she has been receiving concussions since the age of four and knows the consequences of them. Rousey said that she started dealing with concussions when she was just six years old. She added that she used to get them regularly, multiple times a year. The UFC fighter stated that she was not allowed to speak up or say anything about it. Rousey shared that, as a fighter, one is not supposed to show any kind of weakness or say any such thing.

What did Ronda Rousey say about head injuries in WWE?
According to Rousey, she had faced significant issues while being at WWE, and her silence compounded there, as WWE wrestlers too are subject to head concussions. However, once she hung her boots, she started speaking on this issue vigorously. “And because I wanted to move on to do something else, it also forced my silence on the subject until I was done with that.”
She stated that she wishes that more and more people would talk about the head trauma, as the longevity of the fighters is at stake. Further, speaking for her UFC return, Rousey has shown no willingness to come back to professional wrestling, despite calling it off.
