In a recent social media exchange, Baszler asserted her capability to contend with most men in combat sports.
However, a fan retorted with a sexist remark, insinuating that Baszler’s genetics would hinder her performance against men. Baszler swiftly rebutted, drawing from her experience training alongside men:
“As someone who has trained alongside men for a living, respectfully, you’re wrong. (Also, most men don’t train to actually fight. At all).”
Switching gears, Baszler reminisced about her compelling feud with real-life friend Ronda Rousey, culminating in a hard-hitting MMA Rules Match that marked Rousey’s final WWE appearance.
Despite logistical challenges posed by the venue, Baszler and Rousey delivered a memorable encounter, with Baszler emerging victorious.
In an interview with Fightful, Baszler shed light on the logistical hurdles encountered during their match, highlighting the venue’s limitations:
“I won’t lie, the idea we had, we were a little bit handcuffed just based on the venue. There was no tron, so we knew the people in-house were going to have trouble maybe understanding some of the stuff because you need a camera and a close up of that… We did the best we could with what we had. I’m proud of it.”
As speculation lingers over Rousey’s potential WWE return, Baszler’s triumph serves as a compelling narrative thread, leaving fans intrigued about future confrontations in the squared circle.
