Rousey: 'I will not try to intimidate Cat Zingano'
BJPENN.COM News - February 20, 2015
“Cat is different because, not only is she undefeated, but she has the kind of indomitable spirit that I haven’t seen exhibited by anyone else, at the level that she has. She’s been down in fights before and every single time, she’s come back and finished the other person. And, given everything she’s been through lately, in her life outside of fighting, I really feel like she’s one of those people that’s impossible to intimidate, so I don’t even try.” “I’ve never gone to the ground with a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blackbelt before. Alexis (Davis) was a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blackbelt, but I didn’t get there. I’ve never been tested that way on the ground. Her first discipline was actually wrestling, and a lot of people forget that. She’s a very strong grappler, but everyone knows her for her striking because it’s obvious that her striking is an extreme strong suit. In a new interview with FOX Sports, UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey explained why she won’t be going for the mental edge in next week’s UFC 184 headliner against Cat Zinagno.

Ellenberger: 'I know my opponents use PEDs, because they told me'
BJPENN.COM News - February 20, 2015
“I know for a fact I’ve fought guys on PEDs. I’ve had guys tell me that after the fight. I won’t say any names but you can tell. You can tell when you clinch up with somebody. Probably the biggest test is by the way they look, but I’m not going to name names. It’s very common.” “[The UFC’s new drug testing policy] good for the sport. It’s good for competition, especially when there’s heavier penalties. I think guys are going to tend to think about it a little more if that’s their only income. “At the end of the day every professional sport has guys that are cutting corners or cheating.”
