Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Women's champion Ronda Rousey knows how it feels to be the villain, having played that role in "Fast & Furious 7."
In the UFC, Rousey is seen more of as a heroine than a heel. However, Rousey feels that she is more of a villain especially when one looks back at how she is before and after matches with other female fighters.
There was one instance in 2013 when she faced Miesha Tate. While Rousey won of course, she refused to shake the hand of Tate. Why?
Well she believes that Tate simply offered her hand because there were people watching. According to her, the case would have been different had it been just the two of them.
Then there is also her last match with Bethe Correia that really sent sparks flying. After Correia tweeted that celebrated suicide tweet, Rousey was simply livid.
Correia would, of course, apologize later on before the fight would happen but Rousey didn't bother to acknowledge it. The apology was more of a save face routine for Correia, according to Rousey, further adding that it lacked the sincerity for her to acknowledge.
Hence, it may seem that Rousey may be a bit odd or unstable if you may but the real deal here is that she is just being herself. She holds no frills and prefers to be who she is, straight and forward without any diversionary tactic.
So is she then considered an antagonist?
"I'm the antagonist. Because the protagonist just reacts. They do nothing. The whole storyline, the whole everything that goes on is completely dependent on the antagonist. I'm the one that's forcing everybody to do something," Rousey said on the "Joe Rogan Podcast."
Love her or not, Rousey doesn't seem to care. She knows that once she calls it quits (when she reaches her 30s), people will still end up missing her for what she has done in the UFC.
