Not everyone is interested in the newly announced Netflix match between former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and fellow women’s MMA pioneer Gina Carano. Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland couldn’t care less and doesn’t enjoy female sports in general.
“Oh f*ck me, dude. Ronda and Gina. Whoever thought about that? Are they going to be half naked? I guess they will be half naked. Might make it a little better,” Strickland said during the UFC Houston Media Day.
“Let’s be honest, Ronda Rousey can fight. That b*tch can fight. She’s an Olympian, a weird f*cking Olympian. I mean, I think she lost a few fights to her ex, but the b*tch could fight,” continued Strickland. “Gina, I mean, Gina always sucked. I like Gina. She’s like super conservative. She was hot. I was like a kid when she fought. I may have jerked off to her once or twice back in the day. That was like Strikeforce days. How long ago was that? I was like a kid, dude. I was like what, like 12. I was jerking off when I was 12. But Gina, she always kind of sucked, you know. She was just hot. And back then, like women’s MMA was like slightly worse than it is now, which isn’t saying a lot.”
After trashing the Rousey vs. Carano fight, Strickland went on to disparage women’s MMA and suggested that a random male in the audience could beat up Amanda Nunes, the greatest female fighter of all time.
“But really, like not many people give a f*ck about women’s MMA in general. It’s like the WNBA. Everyone’s like, Oh, no one gives a f*ck about women’s sports. Like, who cares? You’re watching two chics. Like, you take the weakest, softest motherf*cker here and you guys would beat up Amanda Nunes,” Strickland said.
“There’s nothing wrong with women. I mean, they do great things. They cook, they clean, they make good food. Like, women are great,” he added. “We’ve got to remember what women excel at: having kids, being mothers, making food, cleaning house. The problem is we’ve empowered them too much to ruin society.”
Strickland headlines Saturday’s UFC event at Toyota Center in Houston, Texas against rising star Anthony Hernandez.
