Overview
- In a Submission Radio interview, Ali Abdelaziz called Ronda Rousey jealous and said she cannot compare herself to Khabib Nurmagomedov.
- Abdelaziz urged Rousey to come back to competition and suggested Kayla Harrison would welcome the matchup and beat her.
- Rousey said on Bert Kreischer’s YouTube podcast that fans overrate Nurmagomedov because he left before he “reached his limit.”
- She argued that fans abandon former champions once they fade from the spotlight, citing Chuck Liddell, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, and Brock Lesnar.
- Nurmagomedov retired after submitting Justin Gaethje in 2020 to finish 29–0, a résumé central to GOAT debates that others, including Henry Cejudo, have recently questioned.
