Ronda Rousey Believes She Can Be The Next 'Rock'
BJPENN.COM News - July 17, 2014
“I never thought that being an action movie star was in the cards for me. My agent, Brad Slater, kept telling me, ‘You’re going to be the female Rock.’ Then I started to believe it could be a reality. “I don’t half-ass anything. If I’m going to do something, I’m going to do it to be the best in the world at it. A lot of actresses appear in action movies, but there aren’t any female action stars. I love Angelina Jolie, but … it’s about believability for me. Milla Jovovich is one of my favorite actresses – ‘The Fifth Element’ really opened my eyes, and the ‘Resident Evil’ franchise was amazing. So definitely a mix of Milla Jovovich and The Rock is what I’m going for. People love chick fights. They love tough, empowered women. And there is a demand. People just don’t know it.”
Weidman Nearly Pulled Out Of Machida Bout With Injury
BJPENN.COM News - July 17, 2014
“I went through a two-day period where I was very nervous, and felt, you had mentioned my hand, and I thought I was going to have to pull out of the fight. I couldn’t touch my thumb to any of my fingers. I couldn’t grab anything, I couldn’t squeeze a toothbrush, couldn’t brush my teeth. I could do it with my right hand, but not my left. But you know, you just start figuring things out. Like, how bad this if I can’t do these little things? So I kind of was scaring the crap out of myself.” … “So they did the MRI and I had to wait on the results, and I was really just pissed off, and I was depressed,” he said. “I was like, how am I going to deal with this? It was a bad situation. If it’s not broken, obviously I’m not pulling out, but how am I going to train for these last two weeks. I can’t even touch my fingers together and I can’t obviously punch. It was a tough day with that. It was ligaments that were all messed up and sprained. So, I got cortisone injections, which they even told me probably won’t help much because it’s not really an inflammation issue. But I asked them to do it anyway, just anything that might help.”
McGregor: 'I'll be champ by end of the year'
BJPENN.COM News - July 17, 2014
“It doesn’t seem surreal. I believed it in when others would not. I seem to have the habit of predicting the future. I have these visions and they seem to come true. I’m never going to doubt them and no one else should, either. I have a clear, clear vision that that gold belt is around my waist by the end of the year… By the end of 2014. And, I don’t know why but it’s clear as day that that belt is wrapped around my waist. I’m coming for all of it. I’m coming for the gold. I’m taking over the game. You just sit back and relax and watch me take over the game.”
