Rousey: Miesha is a big, old c-word
Ronda Rousey: “She’s a big, old c@#^ … Her boyfriend is like the biggest douchebag ever and she’s around him every single second of the day.”
UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey appeared recently on The Howard Stem Show on Sirius, as part her Fight/Your Fight book tour. Stern has a reputation for pulling unfiltered quotes from guests, and Rousey has a reputation for unfiltered quotes, so the results were sometimes NSFW
On Miesha Tate:
“She’s a big, old c—,” said Rousey, as transcribed by Jimmy Traina for FOX Sports.
“She just has a martini personality, which is like, whoever you’re sitting down having a drink with, that’s who you reflect and that’s exactly who you are. Her boyfriend is like the biggest douchebag ever and she’s around him every single second of the day. I’ve heard when she’s not around him, she’s very pleasant, but then when she’s with him, she’s f—ing terrible.”
When Stern enquired about breasts getting injured in a fight, Rousey was characteristically blunt.
“I’d rather have t–s than nuts,” she said. “I haven’t gotten a single bruise from getting hit in a fight yet.”
Her opponents of course have been banged up plenty, most notably dislocated elbows from armbars. Rousey said they are not fun to administer, either.
“You feel it in between your legs,” she said. “It’s pretty gross. I don’t get satisfaction out of it. I don’t like it.”
On the positive side, Rousey was happy with her butt in Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue:
“I knew it was nice, but I never actually saw it from that angle,” said Rousey. “I was like, ‘Damn, that’s probably the best ass I’ve ever seen.'”
And because there are rules. This could be Rousey discussing the contours of the posterior seen in the SI swimsuit issue gallery.
Rousey’s harshest words were for Invicta FC featherweight champion Cris ‘Cyborg’ Justino. Cris is under contract with the UFC, and will be making an attempt at 135; Rousey says she could beat Justino at 145, but that it would send the wrong message.
She’s very obviously been abusing performance-enhancing drugs for a long time, to the point her jawline, her hands and feet, everything is just morphed by what she’s done to her body. I use the term ‘her’ lightly, said Rousey as transcribed by Matt Erickson for MMAjunkie.
I have to think about what sends the right message. I’m not going to do backflips for a cheating con artist. And to be honest, if you can make 145 juiced the f— up on steroids, you can get off of them and move down. This chick, her whole life, has had advantages that she didn’t earn.
Of course I would (win at 135, even if she was 145). Would I do that? No. She’d have to make 135 just like everybody else, and would have to be clean just like everybody else. There’s no reason she should get a special set of rules just because she cheated for a long time and got a reputation.
How long of a buildup was there for (the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao) fight? Five years. It was five years. Me and ‘Cyborg,’ this talk has been happening for about three years. She’s got two more years to really step up, get herself in the UFC and fight me just like everyone else does, or I’m going to get on with my life.
She wants enough money that she could take a loss for it. She’s one of those people that it’s all just ‘roids and muscle and no technique. No anything. She just had a Muay Thai fight and got dropped six times – she has no chin at all. … Her technique just sucks, and she just manhandles her way out of it.
