“I'm surprised that as soon as you hit the ground, you were already promoting the next fight Conor McGregor. I definitely wouldn't have the mind to do that. The other fighters, UFC and media are lucky to have you,” Ronda wrote in her 'Twitter'.
Still on the same social network, the Irishman was quick to respond to the American and thanked her for the message received at a difficult time in his personal and professional life.
“Thanks for the message Ronda. I really appreciate it”, thanked the 'Notório”
Considered one of the pioneers of women's MMA in Ultimate, Ronda led the bantamweight division (up to 61,2kg) from 2013 to 2015. After being dethroned by Holly holm, the American was away from the Octagon for more than a year. On her return, 'Rowdy' was knocked out in the first round by the 'new' champion Amanda nunes. After the setback, Rousey announced her retirement from the sport.
I'm amazed that as soon as you hit the ground you were already promoting the next fight @TheNotoriousMMA - I def wouldn't have had the mind to do that. The other fighters, @ufc and media are lucky to have you.
