In a recent interview, UFC president, Dana White who had earlier vowed to keep women away from the world of MMA stated that he had initial doubt about Rousey’s abilities but admits that she has shown greater technical qualities than most men.

“The thing that’s scary is, Ronda’s still learning. Every time Ronda comes out, she looks better. She came in here as a judo fighter. Well, now she’s becoming a well-rounded fighter,” White said.

“She’s changing the way we look at women. And she’s changing the way women look at themselves, definitely little girls.

When we were growing up, you were told, ‘You little girls play over here and boys play over here.’ Ronda Rousey smashes that whole thing,” he added.

The fighting beauty has featured in two movies that will be released later this year and she was also the lead female star in the Expendables 3. However, Rousey insists are priority is first to be a fighter.

“I always prioritize fighting first. Everything comes from fighting. The only reason Hollywood is interested in me at all is because I fight and I win. So I have to protect that,” Rousey said.

However, he was interrupted by John Cena who suffered the same fate in the hands of Rollins. The Cenation leader reiterated his determination to win the WWE World Heavyweight championship match at Royal Rumble and hold it hostage until the Trio of Dolph Ziggler, Ryback and Erick Rowan were reinstated.

However, Triple H stated that Cena will get the chance to help his fired colleagues get their jobs back if he won the nights main event, if he failed to triumph, his friends will not only remain fired, but he will also lose the chance to compete for the WWE title at the Royal Rumble.

The night’s main event happened to be a triple threat match which pitched Cena against the trio of Seth Rollins, Kane and Big Show. The fight was more of a beat down than a wrestling match. The Authority trio took turns to dish out punishment to Cena but just as Rollins was about to Curb Stump the powerless former WWE champion, Sting appeared on the giant screen.

The former WCW icon later appeared on the entrance ramp and distracted the Big Show and Kane long enough for Cena to secure a rollup win on Rollins and help reinstate his fired colleagues.

However, just has Triple H demanded that Sting returned to the Ring, an angry looking Brock Lesnar matched down the entrance and laid waste to the Kane and Big Show but Rollins managed to escape the beast’s rage.
