Ronda Rousey was back in the news after WrestleMania 38 and UFC bantamweight champion Julianna Pena was having none of it. Rousey left the UFC back in 2016 and her legacy has been a bit complicated ever since.

Julianna Pena was on The MMA Hour where she went off on the former UFC champion. The current bantamweight champion was not holding back on Ronda Rousey and her legacy.

“She’s kind of a joke in the MMA world now. What is the word? Sellout,” UFC champion Peña told Ariel Helwani. “A little bit of a sellout there. I guess I understand, right?

“Like, pro-wrestling, it’s fake, you get paid millions of dollars. I get it. But for me, for the real shit, for, like, the ‘you’re the real deal,’ I would say that that’s in the UFC.”

There was a little bit of positive about Ronda Rousey but it didn't last long. Julianna Pena is angling for a potential fight with her in the future with the UFC bantamweight title on the line.

“Ronda is so… old news. I think that what’s incredible about her is that she opened up the door and was destroying people in ten seconds and became a star because she was demolishing people in the first round. And that’s great,” Peña said.

“But she got knocked out (twice) and never came back. So how legit is she? She had to go to pro wrestling, and I get that, and I think that that’s great.

“But as a fighter, and somebody who’s competitive, I know that deep down, it probably truly bothers her. The fact that she went away off of two knockout losses and never came back to make her name good.”
