According to a Feb. 25 report from MMA Fighting, UFC champ Ronda Rousey celebrated her UFC 157 victory over Liz Carmouche by putting some tasty meat in her mouth.
"Rousey celebrated the win by eschewing a post-fight after party in favor of returning to her hotel room to eat buffalo wings," MMA Fighting reports. "[Rousey's manager] said that's about par for the course from a fighter who has raced to stardom without losing herself."
After a long training camp complete with severe weight-cutting and grueling practices, Rousey typically celebrates a big win by scarfing down on buffalo wings.
However, one would have guessed that she would do something different for her UFC debut, as it was a historic event that was easily the biggest victory in her pro career.
"She hasn’t lost any of her humility at all," Rousey's manager Darin Harvey said. "My dad says when you put someone on a pedestal, they’ll only look down on you. She's been put on this pedestal but she's not looking down on anybody. She's maintained her humility. Of course, she's a young woman and it's an incredibly challenging, confronted with all this success and all this fame. And it's happened -- three years is overnight in this business -- it's happened very rapidly to make history, but she’s handling it very well."
It's nice to see Rousey sticking to a simple post-fight meal of buffalo wings, rather than going out for a fancy, expensive meal.
It says something about her humble, respectful nature, and how she never changes no matter how bright the spotlight gets.
