Ronda Rousey confirmed the extent of her arm injury, which she stated is fractured.
The WWE performer revealed on Instagram that after “thousands of dislocations” throughout her career, she has sustained a fracture. Rousey said she heard a pop in her elbow when slapping the mat at a live event on 2/26 in Rockford, Illinois.
She is also dealing with pre-existing issues in her right knee, which she stated has no ACL or cartilage
How do you train with no ACL or cartilage in your right knee as well as a fractured radius?
Focus on what you CAN do – I have some of the most versatile training routines on earth, I need to do PT, build strength, retain flexibility, and train technique across multiple disciplines – sometimes all in a single session.
After over two and a half decades of combat sports training – the smallest misstep could result in surgery.
Thankfully @mizunousa just sent me their new TS-01 trainers specifically designed for stability (while still ultra light so not to aggravate what remains of my knees 🙌🏼 woohoo!) check link in bio to get yours 😉
Story time!
2 weeks after my ACL reconstruction (at 16 years old) My mom had me on the floor doing pushups to teach me a lesson: you can sit around and feel sorry for yourself, or get off your mopey ass and train with a vengeance.
It’s thanks to that ACL injury I spent an entire year focusing solely on newaza (ground techniques in judo) and became the best in the world in armbars and transitions (anyone who doubts me is welcome to try me 😈)
Well, after thousands of dislocations (I thought not tapping out to armbars and tearing ligaments was cool in my teens) my elbow finally fractured simply by slapping the mat in Rockford, Illinois- right before Wrestlemania.
The only thing saving these chicks now are the doctors not letting me compete. Well ladies, they can’t keep me away forever, I’m not moping, vengeance is coming.
Rousey has not wrestled since the live event in Rockford. She was scheduled for a singles match with Tegan Nox the following week on SmackDown, which was changed with a backstage angle to have Rousey replaced by Shayna Baszler.
