Ronda Rousey is sharing her thoughts on Brock Lesnar, revealing what surprised her most about ‘The Beast’.<\/p>\n

The former UFC women’s bantamweight champion, Rousey, 35, (12-2 MMA) retired from MMA back in 2016 and was the first female fighter inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2018.<\/p>\n

Rousey was a trailblazer, the first Olympic medalist to win a UFC title as well as holding the longest title fight finish streak (6) in UFC history.<\/p>\n

Following back-to-back losses to Holly Holm (14-6 MMA) and Amanda Nunes<\/a> (22-5 MMA), ‘Rowdy’ took her career in a different direction, entering the world of professional wresting.<\/p>\n

Rousey joined former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar, 45, (5-3 MMA) on the WWE roster. Lesnar returned to the WWE back in 2012 after a 4 year stint with the UFC where he defeated the likes of Randy Couture, Frank Mir and Shane Carwin.<\/p>\n

Speaking on her YouTube channel, Rousey had this to say about Lesnar (h\/t MMANews<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he\u2019s fantastic. I think he\u2019s awesome \u2026 We kind of didn\u2019t cross paths in MMA; he was kind of before my time a little bit. But since coming to WWE, he\u2019s been the absolute coolest. He\u2019s super smart, I never would\u2019ve guessed. In MMA, I always just kind of assume, you know, fighters are all of a certain\u2026 they\u2019re not the scholarly types, the most of them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Lesnar has headlined WrestleMania five different times, most recently on night two of WrestleMania 38 earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Rousey held the WWE “Raw” Women’s Championship for 231 days.<\/p>\n

Do you miss seeing Rousey and Lesnar in the UFC? What were your favorite moments of their careers?<\/p>\n
