"I don't have the time to learn how to do all that" - When Ebanie Bridges explained why she would never compete in the UFC

Former IBF women's bantamweight champion Ebanie Bridges doesn't fancy trying her hand at MMA.

Bridges believes it is too late for her to learn all the necessary skills to dominate inside the octagon. Speaking to BitcoinCasinos in 2023, the Australian native said:

"No, I'd never do UFC. No never. I love boxing too much and I'm old, I'm 37-years [old], I don't have time to learn how to do all that. It is [a lot more brutal], it's different."

Bridges added that she did kickboxing when she was younger but quickly realized that she didn't fancy getting kneed, kicked, or elbowed. Furthermore, the boxing star reasoned it would be near impossible to master all the disciplines that make MMA:

"I'm such a perfectionist. I don't know how they train, but I'm assuming you can't do all the things every single day. [It is] Probably like one day of stand up one day of grappling... For me it's like, how do you master it all, you can't really master it at all, even though I would want to master it all. No, it's like too much. Let me just like box people."

Ebanie Bridges on Conor McGregor's future in boxing

Who will Conor McGregor box if he steps in the squared circle again? Ebanie Bridges believes it all depends on how well the Irishman would be compensated.

Speaking to the Schmo last December about the possible opponents for 'The Notorious's' potential return to the ring, 'The Blonde Bomber' claimed that McGregor would fight whoever would make him the most money.

The veteran pugilist feels like the Irishman is at a point in his life where he has achieved everything he wanted to achieve in his career, and money is the only motivating factor that would entice him to fight. She told 'The Schmo':

"I suppose [he'd box] whoever that is going to make him money. That's all he cares about... Of course, you get to a point where it is all about the money. When you've done and achieved so much in your career, then it's like 'Okay I've ticked all the boxes, I've done everything I said I was going to do.' I think he was a two-weight division champion. He has done all this and he made millions... So now... if you're going to put yourself through all that [again] you want it to be rewarding."
