Ronda Rousey: "I"m the biggest draw in the sport"


Ronda Rousey Highlight 2014

Ronda Rousey needed 96 seconds to beat all her last three opponents combined, but believes her role in the sport is much bigger that people might think.

The UFC bantamweight champion went on "Good Morning America" on Thursday morning to discuss the legalization of the sport in New York, movies and career, and made quite a big statement on how important she is to the UFC.

"So many ridiculous arguments that MMA is somehow anti-woman. Fighting is not a mans thing, its a humans thing," Rousey said. "To say its an anti-woman I think its an anti-feminist statement, and the UFC... Im the biggest draw in the sport and Im a woman. How is that anti-woman?"

Rousey, who "really feels optimistic this year" about MMA being legalized in New York, returns to the Octagon against undefeated Bethe Correia at Rio de Janeiros UFC 190 on Aug. 1.
