This may just be some sparring, but it’s definitely entertaining to watch.
UFC fighter Conor McGregor recently found himself an interesting sparring partner—Hafthor Bjornsson, aka “The Mountain” from Game of Thrones. To perfectly describe the matchup, it was a 5’9″, 145-pound fighter up against a 6’9″, 419-pound Strongman.
Imagine what that fight would look like. If they ever did fight for real, who would you take? In case you think that question is laughable, how long would the fight last?

Getting a shoutout in a song is kind of a big deal, so when UFC star Ronda Rousey found out her name was used in one of Demi Lovato’s new songs, she was honored.
Lovato recently released her new album, Confident. It was in the song “Stars” that she found a way to give a quick shoutout to the dominant fighter.
Knock ’em all out, beat ’em like Rousey.
Of course, Lovato has made it clear in the past that she’s a pretty big Rousey fan:
Now, the singer has found a way to show her respect for the fighter.
Lovato made sure Rousey knew about the shoutout and why she included the line:
As a result, the UFC star and the singer showed some love for each other:
In case you were wondering, the two have met before, via Twitter user Delena Brazil:

In honor of National Coffee Day, here’s a story that involves one of the biggest stars in sports and her love for coffee.
Before she was a dominant UFC star, Ronda Rousey was just a student looking for a way to get her fix of Frappuccinos. That may have helped her become the fighter she is today.
Teenaged Rousey and her friend used to go to the promenade and challenge random guys to fights for money. That was her way of getting her hands on money to buy Frappuccinos. Thinking fighting a teen girl would be an easy way to make a quick buck, the guys would accept the challenge. Bad decision.
Rousey sat down with Sports Illustrated in an interview published back in May and talked about her Fight-for-Frappuccinos days.
Warning: Video contains explicit language.
Fortunately for everyone, Rousey can now afford to buy Frapps on her own.

When Andy Lassner became the executive producer of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, he really had no idea what he was getting himself into.
Working with Ellen is probably a lot of fun—but Lassner recently found out that what is fun for some can be painful for others.
UFC star Ronda Rousey went on The Ellen Show this week. While she sat down and talked with DeGeneres for a bit, the best part of her appearance came when she demonstrated her UFC moves on Lassner.
The Ellen Show didn’t have a legit Octagon to work with, but that didn’t keep Rousey from doing her thing. Lassner, like most people would be, was nervous about essentially being a demonstration dummy. However, he bravely accepted his role.
It was a valuable lesson for Lassner: Never jokingly volunteer for a task around DeGeneres.

Following Saturday night’s UFC 190 showdown between Ronda Rousey and Bethe Correia, artist AzodAbedikichi has recreated the battle—in claymation style.
Abedikichi made sure to include all of the big moments, from the pre-fight staredown and the fight itself to Rousey warning challengers not to talk about her family.
Bethe Correia learned the hard way at UFC 190 that what goes around comes around.
At the pre-fight staredown, Correia did her best to intimidate Ronda Rousey while saying “Don’t cry.”
That would come back to bite her.

Bethe Correia learned the hard way at UFC 190 that what goes around comes around.
At the pre-fight staredown, Correia did her best to intimidate Ronda Rousey while saying “Don’t cry.”
That would come back to bite her.
Correia had done quite a bit of talking before the showdown, but her mouth would not help her when it came time to step into the Octagon. On Saturday night, Rousey ended the fight in a mere 34 seconds. And she had made sure to use her opponent’s pre-fight words against her afterward.
As she walked away victorious, Rousey said to Correia, “Don’t cry.” Rousey talked about the words during the post-fight press conference, via Fox Sports’ Damon Martin:
I said the exact same thing she was saying to me at the weigh-ins when she was screaming in my face at weigh-ins. She was saying ‘Don’t cry’.
So I turned around to her after I knocked her out and I said ‘Don’t cry’.
I consider the matter settled. I’m not going to have to think about her ever again after this day and I’m sure she’ll have to think about me plenty. As far as I’m concerned, it’s over and done with.
The talking may have been done to try to get inside of Rousey‘s head, but the only thing it did was add to the UFC star’s fire.
Even after losing quickly, Correia had no regrets about talking a big game.
“I don’t regret anything. Everything I said was very sincere,” Correia said at the post-fight press conference, per Martin. “It was my point of view and what I believed in. I think I did a great job. The event was wonderful. It wasn’t the result that I wanted, but I think everything that I said was something that I thought.”
Let this be a lesson to any UFC fighter who thinks it’s a good idea to talk trash to Rousey. If you can’t back it up, it’s going to come back to haunt you.
