"If you lose to someone with a broken arm, it's your own f***ing fault" - Ronda Rousey promotes her new ESPN show with a snippet
Ronda Rousey, the first female fighter to be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame, finally has her own ESPN+ show. The production is titled Rowdy's Places after her nickname 'Rowdy.'
In one of the show's promos, Ronda Rousey was seen revealing the secrets of her signature armbar to Brazilian jiu-jitsu trainer Rener Gracie.
"If you get somebody in a pin, the referee can just stand you up. If you get somebody in a choke, the referee could stand you up to take a deep breath and then you are fine. But if you get somebody in an armbar, you break their arm and referee doesn't call it. If you lose to someone with a broken arm, it's your own f***ing fault. My mom (renowned judoka AnnMaria De Mars) always taught me that the armbar is the most definite way to win," said Ronda Rousey.
