Well, this is an unexpected comparison.
Kentucky defender Jordan Jones was asked for his thoughts post-game after UK defeated South Carolina 17-10. Jones brought up a surprising comparison.
Take a look:
Here’s the relevant line:
We just all wanted to win…get back on the winning side. Had to come back and win like Ronda Rousey.
Hmm.
Does he mean come back and get the win like Ronda Rousey did until her last fight with Holly Holm? When she, decidedly, did not win?
Or does he mean “come back” (unrelated to The Comeback) and win like Rousey is going to try to do, presumably, at some point in the near future?
It’s stilted regardless. Maybe someone bet Jones that he couldn’t work in a reference to Ronda Rousey.
Also, bonus points for the overall tone of the interview! Those were some pretty harsh post-victory questions.
Kentucky plays/loses at Alabama next Saturday night on ESPN.
