In November she told reporters that Zingano had “the most heart” of any MMA opponent she’s ever known. And then last month she called her a “unique,” “risky,” and “dangerous” adversary.
Now, with just a few days to go until they enter the Octagon, Rousey has decided it’s no longer time to make friends.

She acknowledged that Zingano is a talent fighter, but then added “I can finish her anywhere, and I will find a way [to win],” per Yahoo! News.
Rousey also seemed disinclined to discuss her strategy going into the fight. “I never plan out exact game plans for fights. I just walk out, and I solve the fight as it happens," 'Rowdy' said. If history is any indication, she usually finishes them quickly. The undefeated UFC bantamweight champ has won all but one of her fights in the first round.
Does Cat Zingano have a shot to hand Ronda Rousey her first loss? The two square off on Saturday night in Los Angeles' Staples Center.
