Ronda Rousey Dismisses Joe Rogan’s Expertise, Says Only $1 Billion Would Lure Her Back

The UFC Hall of Famer used a Bertcast interview to challenge how MMA treats legacies, citing Khabib Nurmagomedov as an example.

Overview

  • On Bert Kreischer’s podcast, Ronda Rousey said Joe Rogan is "not an expert" and "a fan with an audience," adding that his taekwondo background is "not fighting."
  • Rousey named $1 billion as the price for any MMA comeback and indicated no practical plans to return, with no bout or booking announced.
  • Kreischer, a friend of Rogan, appeared uncomfortable during the exchange and quickly pivoted after Rousey’s remarks.
  • Rousey argued that fans devalue former champions after losses and claimed Khabib Nurmagomedov is revered because he retired before reaching his limit.
  • The interview drew wide pickup across MMA outlets, resurfacing Rousey’s long‑running grievances with media coverage following her 2015–16 defeats.
