Ronda Rousey’s latest comments have apparently irked one former UFC broadcaster.
For the past few weeks, Rousey has done several interviews to promote her new book “Our Fight.”
During her media tour, Rousey blamed her losses against Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes on lingering concussion issues.
In a recent interview with Chris Cuomo, the former UFC champion also took aim at Joe Rogan and the MMA media.
“It was really disappointing to see how happily everybody turned on me and how people like Joe Rogan, who were crying in the ring about the honor of being able to call my fights, people I considered friends in the media so quickly turned on me,”
“The MMA media hates me; it’s fine,” Rousey said later in the interview. “Not a single person has called me or anything like that. They’ve all just doubled down and said that I’m making excuses, lying, blowing things out of proportion, or not giving credit where it’s due. No, I have not. I’ll be waiting for that call forever.”
On Monday, former UFC commentator Jimmy Smith responded to Rousey’s latest comments by ripping her to shreds and revealing that people within the organization hated working with her.
“She never gives credit to the people who actually beat her. The idea that ‘I left MMA and went to the WWE because I had concussion problems’ makes no sense. Let me let you in on something. Ronda, if you’re listening: the people behind the scenes; camera people, audio people, the people you can push around, and the people you can bully, talk down to. Can’t stand your f— a–…
“Everybody behind the scenes that had to put a mic on Ronda Rousey couldn’t stand her. I said why? They said ‘She was a b—- to us from the moment she sat down, to the moment she got up’. Like it’s our fault that she has to do this interview…and she’s miserable, mean, and ‘we can’t stand her’. They were cheering when she got knocked out, that’s what I was told,” Smith continued. “Those are the people you can be mean to and rude to, and they can’t fight back. Those people couldn’t stand Ronda Rousey, so don’t sit here and tell me that you’re the victim. The poor guy sitting behind the camera is doing his job, gets s—on by you or you’re mean to the person asking you questions when we’re hyping your fight, don’t give me this victim s—. Don’t, don’t waste my time with that.”
