– Former WWE personality and ESPN’s Jonathan Coachman was asked on Twitter about Ronda Rousey signing with WWE following her loss at Friday’s UFC 207 event. Coachman responded with the following remarks to the question:
Sorry no chance. You can’t bring in her at any point. Perception matters. That performance mattered. https://t.co/0HGPgVNLod— Jonathan Coachman (@TheCoachESPN) December 31, 2016
Michael listen to me. It will NEVER happen. They are not in the business of bringing in a broken star and rebuilding her. https://t.co/JUOAVig2ov— Jonathan Coachman (@TheCoachESPN) December 31, 2016
