Ronda: 'Women's MMA No Longer Experimental, We're Winning Fights of the Night'

BJPENN.COM News - January 20, 2014

“I like to have a lot of pressure (on me) when I fight, but I hated the state of fragility that women’s MMA was in before.So, I feel a lot better knowing that that weight is off of me. Not that I don’t like pressure, but I don’t want to have to worry. I am so overjoyed that it’s happened so quickly. The women’s MMA experiment is now two divisions. It’s no longer experimental. We’re winning Fights of the Night, and the fans are excited about it. I’m really happy that the last The Ultimate Fighter (season 18) had guys and girls because it really showed the ratings difference between when the girls are fighting, and the guys are fighting. The girls actually got more ratings so it really, I think, encouraged them to open up a season that’s all girls.”

Joe Riggs: "Nick Diaz is a f**king mongoloid"

BJPENN.COM News - January 20, 2014

“Nick Diaz is a f**king mongoloid. He doesn’t even know what he talks about. He’s a guy who will see a word in the dictionary and just regurgitate the word and put it to no use. It makes no sense what he’s talking about. I’d love to beat the sh*t out of him. Actually, I’d like to box him because he thinks he has good hands, but that’s besides the point.” True, Nick Diaz and Joe Riggs have a storied history. And despite besting the older Diaz brother in their one and only meeting at UFC 57, Joe Riggs still holds a grudge.
