Ronda Rousey Talks The Differences Between WWE Fans And UFC Fans

Top WWE Superstar Ronda Rousey recently took to her gaming stream, where she talked about a number of topics such as how the fans in the WWE care more about the wrestlers than the UFC fans care about the fighters and how the fans in the UFC have much less respect for the veterans and legends of the sport than the fans in the WWE do.

Ronda Rousey said:

“I would say that the WWE fans care more about the wrestlers than the UFC fans care more about the fighters. UFC fans have much less respect for the veterans and legends of the sport than WWE fans do. A lot of UFC fans are kind of like bandwagon fans in that way.”

Ronda Rousey also talked about how the second you’re not on top in the UFC the fans of the sport turn on you and how she doesn’t see UFC fans having the same respect for the legends that got the sport to where it is today as the fans in the WWE.

Ronda Rousey said:

“The second you’re not on top, you’re dead to them. Where WWE fans are like, ‘this is the guy that did this 20 years ago’ and are still really excited whereas UFC fans now are like, ‘Forrest Griffin sucks.’ Uhh, you owe basically the whole sport to him. Shit like that. ‘Anderson Silva sucks. GSP [Georges St-Pierre] sucks.’ These are people that elevated the sport and paved the way for everybody else. I don’t see UFC fans having the same respect for people that got the sport to where it is as WWE fans. I’m not saying it’s completely absent, I’m just saying I see more respect for legends in WWE fans than UFC fans. There are exceptions to everything.”
