Rousey is currently gearing up for her comeback fight against Gina Carano, and her promotional tactics for the fight gained attention from Harrison on Jorge Masvidal&#8217;s Death Row MMA podcast.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Apr. 15, 2026, Rousey responded to the claims to Ariel Helwani and blasted Harrison <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/uncrownedcombat\/status\/2044551205465296933?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">with an array of insults<\/a>. \u201cGina [Carano] is so relevant that she&#8217;s the entire reason that the 145-pound division even exists. I&#8217;m so relevant that the one reason [Harrison] has a job on the UFC is due to me. Kayla is so irrelevant that she couldn&#8217;t even keep the 145-pound division around,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTruthfully, she&#8217;s just sour because regardless of what she does or what she accomplishes, she will be able to&#8217;t change the incontrovertible fact that she has the charisma of a wet towel and can all the time be in me and Gina&#8217;s shadow. So the subsequent time she desires to talk s***, she should look down at her feet and consider who paved the road that she&#8217;s walking on. Oh, wait, she will be able to&#8217;t look down at her feet because she&#8217;s too busy holding onto the belt in a neck brace,\u201d Rousey continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter which she goes on and says that I lied about training in judo in Canada in, like, 2006. Who the f*** are you to call me a liar, OK? I used to be training there for five months. B****, you were not even there. During the last decade and a half of being a public figure, I even have cultivated a status of being unabashedly truthful. This b**** just came and was already caught in a lie. What did she say after she won the belt? She said, \u2018Oh, I&#8217;m never going to say anything bad about Ronda. She took care of me after I was broke in Japan and acquired me groceries.&#8217; How about you shut the f*** up and eat your groceries?\u201d she finished.<\/p>\n<p>Also, while talking to Helwani, Rousey continued taking shots at Harrison, including her previously scheduled for UFC 324&#8217;s co-main-event against Amanda Nunes, behind Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">MIC DROP \ud83c\udfa4<\/p>\n<p>Rousey cut a promo on Kayla Harrison. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RouseyCarano?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RouseyCarano<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Vd2N4lFeZK\">pic.twitter.com\/Vd2N4lFeZK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Uncrowned (@uncrownedcombat) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/uncrownedcombat\/status\/2044551205465296933?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 15, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>Earlier this month, in Apr.  2026, UFC Bantamweight Champion Kayla Harrison launched a fury of verbal attacks on MMA veteran and Olympic medalist Ronda Rousey.
