In case the video gets pulled down, here’s a transcription of all the Ronda-praise that Joe managed to fit into a few minutes.
- “Dana, when you get a chance to watch Ronda Rousey fight, it’s not just a fight at this point. It’s a cultural spectacle.”
- “It doesn’t just seem like a fight. It seems like some sort of historical event that you have the privilege of watching live.”
- “She’s such a unique athlete. And such a unique person.”
- “She’s almost like a mythical *stumbles over his words*… A mythical human at this point.”
- “[Bethe] is fighting a woman who transcends sport. She’s fighting a woman who is a hero.”
- “Wow. Woah. Crazy. Oh my goodness. Wow. Wow.”
- “She’s a cultural icon.”
- “She is just spectacular.”
- “She just keeps getting better. She’s terrifying!”
- “There’s something staggering about that woman. I really do feel like she’s just some incredible, historical figure.”
- “She’s not a once in a lifetime, she’s once EVER.”
- “Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.”
- “To be able to call her fights is an honor. I don’t use that word lightly at all. It is a real honor.”
- “It’s an honor to call your fights. It really is. You’re the best ever, you’re just *stutters like the first time you asked a girl on a date* a.. a… a once in a lifetime human being.”
- “It’s like watching some unbelievable historical figure that’s never existed before.”
- “Man, I’m blown away tonight.”
- “I just want to tell you I’m just beyond honored to call this fight.”
- “Ronda Rousey is on another level. I mean, another level from where she was before, and THAT was another level.”
- “The best ever, ladies and gentlemen.”
- “She’s just something so undeniably special. I’m just humbled, man. I’m humble.”
- “This is something you’re going to get a chance to tell your children about. To tell your grandchildren about.”
- “She is better than she ever was before, and she was already the best.”
- “When people tell you ‘Hey I was there when Muhammad Ali fought Sonny Liston’, ‘I got to see Mike Tyson beat Trevor Burbick’, that’s what I feel like when I watch her fight.”
