One can’t imagine Conor McGregor or Jose Aldo getting similar questions during media scrums for UFC 194.
Ronda Rousey is just under three weeks away from defending her bantamweight title against Holly Holm in Melbourne, Australia.
Rousey-Holm will be the headline bout in an event that is tracking to welcome in excess of 60,000 MMA fans to the Etihad Stadium.
The UFC champion discussed a number of topics, this week, when the promotion invited a host of reporters along to the Glendale Fighting Club for interviews.
Topics ranged from Rousey’s legacy to feminism and her thoughts on aggrandising and sexualising female super-hero characters [yes, that was a question].
Rousey was in open and amusing form, though, when asked about the most unusual date request that came her way. It came from a lifeguard when she was only a teenager.
She explains, “One day he took one of those lifeguard poles and blew up a glove… On the glove it pops up in front of my face and goes ‘Hi’ and he rotated it around. It said ‘Will you go out with me on Friday?'”
