Former Best Friends Turned Rivals, Baszler and Rousey, Set to Clash in a Highly Anticipated MMA Rules Match
Shayna Baszler is leaving no stone unturned as she prepares for her MMA Rules Match against her former best friend, “The Baddest Woman on the Planet” Ronda Rousey, at the upcoming SummerSlam event. In a recent video shared by WWE, Baszler can be seen hitting the mat and the heavy bag, demonstrating her intense training regimen ahead of the much-anticipated showdown.
“This place is a second home. All the best and worst parts of me are here. All the tears and the sweat and the blood. It’s a place where uncomfortable feels comfortable,” Baszler said, referring to her training environment. She further expressed her determination to step out of Rousey’s shadow and establish herself as the true ‘baddest’ in the ring.
Baszler’s training is not just about physical preparation but also mental fortitude. “Getting in the gym, walking in, it’s getting in the right mindset, concentrating on what you’re doing, you’re putting yourself there. I’m putting myself in Detroit at SummerSlam,” she explained.
The upcoming match is not just another fight for Baszler; it’s personal. “I don’t think people understand the difference when a fight becomes personal. I am going to break Ronda Rousey emotionally. To get there is through the physicality. I’m going to put Ronda Rousey to sleep,” Baszler declared.
With such a high-stakes match on the horizon, fans eagerly await how this intense rivalry unfolds at SummerSlam.
