5 secrets Ronda Rousey told us about WWE in her revealing interview with Megan Olivi

#1. Her first UFC PPV main event meant way more than main eventing WrestleMania

Ronda Rousey main evented Wrestlemania in front of 80,000 people

Ronda Rousey's two pivotal career moments were main eventing a UFC PPV vs Liz Carmouche and main eventing WrestleMania as one of the first three women to ever do it. While she was fully appreciative of her opportunity to main event WrestleMania, she explained in detail why the fight against Carmouche was far more important to her.

Me and Liz Carmouche felt bigger, to me. Even though it was years ago and not too many people watched and it was in the Honda Center where 20,000 people watched compared to Wrestlemania where 80,000 people watched, I just feel like me and Carmouche was the most pivotal moment, like everything had to happen that way or else women’s MMA would’ve ended before it started. With Wrestlemania it felt like all the stars were aligned, the whole universe was conspiring for us to succeed, and I had not in single doubt in my mind that we would succeed, but like for me and Carmouche there were so many outside factors like the numbers to be well and I had to win the match, and I had to win the match in an exciting way and like there were just so many other different factors I had to worry about and I feel like the stakes were higher in a way, even though the venue and the audience was smaller.
