Ronda Rousey settles lawsuit with former manager image

UFC star Ronda Rousey and Fight Tribe Management president Darin Harvey, Rousey’s former manager, reached an “amicable resolution” to their lawsuit, the two sides announced in a press release.

According to the release, “FTM and Rousey had been in litigation over the terms of their management agreement since March 2014, shortly after Rousey and Harvey parted ways.”

In November, Harvey told USA Today he stood to lose more than $1 million in legal fees and investments on Rousey’s career, which he managed through her 3-0 amateur career and 8-0 start to her pro career, before seeing a return.

“I created a monster," Harvey said. “She believed she was as special as the press made her out to be …

“They give me absolutely no credit for the success of her career. She’s not a good person."

Harvey, who reveled in Rousey’s loss to Holly Holm in UFC 193 by calling it “poetic justice," made quite the 180-degree turn in Monday’s release, saying he is “rooting for her to reclaim her belt and I wish her continued success in all of her endeavors."

Rousey was equally polite, saying, “I sincerely appreciate (Harvey) and his team's contributions when I needed them most."
