MMA Fighting • • sports
Key Points:
- Dakota Ditcheva, once a big fan of Ronda Rousey, has distanced herself from the UFC Hall of Famer after Rousey made a disparaging comment about Khamzat Chimaev's cleft palate.
- Rousey’s insult came during her promotional campaign for a comeback fight, where she also criticized the UFC, which Ditcheva found unnecessary and disappointing.
- Ditcheva believes Rousey’s legacy and return would have garnered attention without resorting to personal attacks, and she expressed regret over Rousey’s decision to stoop to that level.
- While Ditcheva has seen similar trash talk from fighters like Conor McGregor, she was particularly let down by Rousey due to the respect she once held for her as a female role model.
- Ditcheva plans to focus on her own comeback in the PFL and does not intend to continue criticizing Rousey, though she stands by her disappointment in Rousey’s conduct.
