[MUSIC] The baddest woman on the planet,
Ronda Rousey.
>> Speaker 1: The dangerous Shayna Baszler.
>> Speaker 2: This is destiny, we manifested this a decade ago.
>> Speaker 3: All of the gold and all of the power in the women's
tag ranks now goes to Baszler and Rousey.
>> Speaker 1: Wait a minute, what the hell?
Shayna Baszler is assaulting her best friend, but why?
[SOUND] >> Speaker 4: I first
became aware of Shayna watching Strike Force when I was a bartender.
Shayna had a personality, she wasn't asking for permission to be there,
she was filling her face instead of meekly occupying it.
And then when we were on the Ultimate Fighter together,
I knew right away that she was my first pick.
>> Speaker 2: I came in to the Ultimate Fighter with a chip on my shoulder.
It's kind of a show for up and comers and I was way past being an up and comer.
Ronda was there as a coach, Ronda and I hit it off, I wasn't like a lot of people.
I didn't hate on Ronda right away just because she was winning really fast and
getting opportunities.
>> Speaker 4: I don't know if I would say that Shayna was my protege,
she started fighting before me, she had more experience in me.
But I will say that towards the end of Ultimate Fighter,
there was like one minute left of the last round of grappling.
She starts laughing and goes, yeah, it's really funny I made it through this many
weeks, Ultimate Fighter, and you never armbarred me once.
Ask her how many times I armbarred her in that minute,
then you'll know who's protege.
[MUSIC]
>> Speaker 2: There's this image that Ronda Rousey has for
the public as it pertains to us, her friends, me.
She lets us live for free at her house, but it's so
that she could have people to beat up for free.
It's not cuz out of the goodwill of her heart, I was there for
every single one of Ronda's training camps to be the sparring partner.
That mimicked the people she was fighting so that she could learn to capitalize.
Ask Ronda Rousey how many fight camps of mine
she showed up to to be my sparring partner.
[MUSIC]
And then ask, how is it possible that Ronda got to
where she got and I was only able to get to where I got?
This whole thing has been set up from day one for
her to be elevated to this position despite the work of everyone else,
namely me, who'd come before her.
It happened in MMA, it's happening here, and I'm done, I'm sick of it,
I'm not gonna let that happen again.
[MUSIC]
>> Speaker 1: Wait a minute, what the hell?
Shayna Baszler is assaulting her best friend, Ronda Rousey.
>> Speaker 4: Honestly, I thought I knew how Shayna thought and
what her motivations, so I can't honestly, I don't know a damn thing.
I can't tell you why she jumped me.
>> Speaker 2: Being best friends with Ronda Rousey is accepting being in a toxic
relationship.
It's live in my house for free, you won't have to work, all you'll have to do
is be a sparring partner for me every day, get beat up and have no money.
So it was the only option I had, it's Shayna,
we're both in WWE, let's team up, let's go, the tag title.
She's stringing me along, doing me a favor, when in reality,
she had the biggest target on her back.
She pissed off everyone,
[MUSIC]
And she needed me because everyone was
ready to step to her and no one was gonna step to me.
She needed me to stand in front of her so that she could stand above me.
[MUSIC]
>> Speaker 6: When everybody was jumping on the,
[BLEEP] Me bandwagon, she never jumped on.
She was, There for
me in my absolute roughest times.
Something I was reading, they were talking about some king or
emperor that was saved by, like, a stable boy when he was younger.
And in his gratitude he gave him everything,
he promoted him to be his general.
He gave him the best accommodations, did everything he possibly could for
him because he had someone that was completely loyal to him.
Eventually, the stable boy started feeling entitled to all of those gifts,
he turned on them and killed the king and took everything.
I wanted Shayna to be my friend so
badly that I gave her everything to the point that she hated me for it.
[MUSIC]
>> Speaker 2: The thing is, I've given Ronda everything a friend
should give, and she's never given it back and
I'm done riding in the backseat,
[MUSIC]
For Ronda Rousey.
[MUSIC]
This isn't gonna be a match, this is gonna be a fight,
I am going to take the thing that means the most to Ronda Rousey.
I am going to take her reputation,
she has never been the baddest, it has always been me.
[MUSIC]
>> Speaker 4: I don't fight like anybody else because I'm not in a competition,
I'm not trying to win around.
If someone gets the best of you for even one second,
it needs to drive you insane, it needs to hurt you inside.
That's the difference between me and Shayna.
>> Speaker 5: Just like MMA,
it took me a fraction of the time you invested before I eclipsed you yet again.
I am the greatest combat sport athlete of all time, and
you are just a knockoff version of me.
[NOISE] >> Speaker 4: God,
you don't know what the worst part about this whole thing is.
Outside of her husband and her mother,
I was the first one to hold her baby, I love that kid.
You're my Goddaughter,
[MUSIC]
She's gonna grow up and she's going to never forgive me for
what I'm going to do to her mother, Ronda Rousey.
