Ronda Rousey Explains Why She’s Afraid Of Fighting

“I get nervous, but I don’t get scared like fighting. I get scared of fighting, because the worst that could happen is that I could die or get permanently maimed or become a quadriplegic for the rest of my life. Man, it’s serious. And the worst thing that could happen here is what? Someone could say I look bad in a bikini? Ugh, oh no. Fighting puts everything into perspective.”

UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey told SI that she’s actually scared of fighting because of what could go wrong inside the cage.

Do you think it’s pretty normal for fighters to have some fear heading into a locked cage with another human being?
