Anyway, it seems like Gina shares the same gratitude in return because in her own press release, she said that Ronda came to me and said that there is only one person that she would make a comeback for and it has been her dream to make this fight happen between us.

She thanked me for opening doors for her and her career and was respectful in asking for this fight to happen.

This is an honor.

And then Gina says, I believe I will walk out of this fight with a win and I anticipate it will not come easy, which I welcome.

This is as much for Ronda and me as it is for the fans and the mixed martial arts community.

What a time to be alive.

So in my mind, now that I've taken all this in, I think it's a lot less shit talking just for the sake of clicks and PR and more so to women being brutally honest about why they're here and why this fight specifically means so much to them.

And I do not think they really care if people on the internet do not think it's legit or think it is dumb.

Like they are doing this for them.

And either way, in terms of Gina specifically, like I am so happy that she's going to be back in the Octagon doing something that she loves.

And also Rhonda really wasn't saying anything that was some kind of big secret because Gina has been very open about what she has gone through over the last few years, you know, from being fired by Disney and, you know, tarred and feathered publicly.

She lost her best friend in 2022.

She had her lawsuit with Disney that was all consuming for years on end.

And she talked about,

all of this and way more on an episode of Sean Ryan's podcast early last year.

Again, there's something about being on that podcast.

You just spill all the beans for hours and hours and hours.

And Gina definitely did that.

But anyway, I would guess that this is the interview that Rhonda was referring to because in this interview, Gina talks about how she has had times in her life when she was not able to get out of bed, when she has had to be fighting tooth and nail for her mental health.

And she tells Sean about what she's done to help her and what has helped others in her life that were struggling.
