Apparently, asking for an autograph just doesn’t do it for fans anymore.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey snapped at a fan who dared ask her about how much sex she has before a fight.

A tip of the hat to Yahoo! Sports for spotting this brilliant moment when an athlete decided to make an example out of a rude fan and cut him down in front of every captivated bystander. 

Twitter user Eric Holden uploaded the video to YouTube and claims the fan asked Rousey how many times she has sex before her fights.

If the amateur interviewer had a smartphone and about two seconds to check, he would have found multiple cases where Rousey answers this very question. 

For instance, here with Jim Rome. 

And here on HBO’s Real Sports. 

And here with Conan O’Brien. 

Just think of how annoyed you get when you are asked the same question three times. Of course, that’s not what’s really going on here. 

As Yahoo! Sports’ Maggie Hendricks points out, there are two completely different venues presented here. In one case, she is in a studio with a professional who knows how to maneuver an interview, and the line of questioning has most likely been offered or vetted in advance. 

It’s far removed from just shouting at a woman you have never met about how much sex she has. 

It’s really not that difficult, fans. Treat athletes with respect and they will do the same in return. In fact, Rousey has a brilliant method of testing any question in case you are still confused: “If your mother was standing behind you and heard you ask that question, what would she say to you?”

We all know why the fan was asking the question: He caught wind of how Rousey has answered in the past and wanted to garner a similar response.

Well, he certainly received one. As it turns out, Rousey destroys people outside of the cage also. 

And it’s beautiful.

Mixed martial arts: “Where cleavage is a hinderance.”

Elite female UFC fighters are serious, serious athletes. As such, they think about any and all possible advantages they can gain over their adversaries. According to Ronda Rousey, one of those advantages is having smaller breasts.

The topic of breasts and their impact on MMA was discussed in ESPN The Magazine‘s latest “Body Issue,” which, among others, featured a photo spread of UFC fighter Miesha Tate. The issue featured an article by Amanda Hess titled, “You Can Only Hope to Contain Them,” which focused on female fighters dealing with boob issues while fighting in the Octagon.

The piece features an interview with UFC women’s bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey. As usual, Rousey was brutally honest, and her candidness did not fail to provide for highly quotable material.

Rousey told Hess that she’s had difficulties keeping her breasts under wraps while grappling with opponents in the past. One particular fight against Liz Carmouche was especially troublesome, and she worried constantly about having a wardrobe malfunction.

She also gave her observations on women who reach the pinnacle of athletics, saying that large breasts aren’t often a characteristic of elite female athletes.

“Gina Carano was an amazing fighter, and she had a fantastic rack,” Rousey told Hess. “You don’t see big titties in the Olympics, and I think that’s for a reason.”

Hess’ article explains the difficulties fighters with larger breasts have versus those with less on their chest. For example, Hess cites that a fighter with a typical A-cup is carrying .43 pounds, while fighters with D-cups are carrying around four or more pounds of weight.

Between the weight, strain and possible wardrobe malfunction issues, it’s hard to say Rousey isn’t right.

With that being said, Gina Carano went 12-1-1 in her Muay Thai fighting career and 7-1 in MMA. So you can have an innate advantage at a sport, but your physical traits don’t necessarily dictate your level of success.

I’m not sure if this is a commercial for an insurance company or defense against mercenary hit squads. 

It doesn’t matter, because I am sold on Ronda Rousey as the perfect protector, and preoccupied geek squads around the world have been put on notice. 

In fact, I think this video is fairly appropriate at the moment. 

The commercial starts with a random lady with an arbitrary computer issue, who comes into a store to pick up her laptop. 

It’s not really the setting in which you might find a brutal beating—it’s more like the start of a very lame comedy sketch. 

Thankfully, this poor lady—who just stopped off to pick up her computer—is protected by Rousey, who isn’t much of a negotiator. She does most of her talking with her fists and with the heels of her feet. 

These geeks never stood a chance, even when reinforcements come from the back to help deal with this masterful MMA champion destroying every last tech expert thrown her way. 

I have to think at least one of those technicians could have helped the computer lady with her PC woes, but then we wouldn’t get a firsthand look at what happens to people who ignore Rousey‘s pals. 

Of course, the funniest part comes when the head geek asks Siri how to solve a looming armbar, but even Siri can’t help against the devastating move—or an “armed bear,” for that matter. 

So the next time you are being ignored by tech experts, just holler for Rousey. She can be pretty convincing.
