Mark Henry was on SiriusXM’s Busted Open radio show and discussed the hate he sees toward Ronda Rousey. The WWE star chalks it up to jealousy.
“Ronda falls in the same category as Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Lebron, and Kevin Durant,” said Henry. “She’s great. She suffers from the greatness hate. [Tom] Brady has been to the Super Bowl nine times! He’s won five of nine. There’s a lot of quarterbacks that never go to one Super Bowl. Why would you hate someone that is better than Joe Montana? Ronda is getting the great hate! Of course there are people that are going to have animosity against her because she’s earned a level of respect that most of us will never see.”
He went on to explain that “even the best won’t see that type of stuff. There’s only a few Muhammad Alis, a few Michael Jordans, a few Ronda Rouseys. To hate that is that they’re jealous and not understanding of what greatness looks like up close.”
