You know the famous sayings, “girls will be girls” and “adults never really leave high school”? Well, Ronda Rousey single handedly proved those two statements to be true this past month, not including the callow, juvenile manner with which she’s handled her nearly six month old loss at the hands of Holly Holm at UFC 193 in November last year.
UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate was a guest on Joe Rogan’s podcast today (May 5, 2016), and she revealed a few details from an encounter between Rousey and UFC women’s strawweight contender Paige VanZant that occurred at a Reebok promotional event held by the UFC last week on April 27, 2016.
Here is Tate’s account of the incident, as she explained it to Rogan:
“So Paige was also at that [Reebok] VIP party, and Paige and I have spoke, we’re friendly. Anyway, she came up to me like ‘Miesha Miesha Miesha, I have to tell you this experience I had with Ronda.’ I said ‘Oh, what?’ And she’s [Paige] like ‘Well, we were at a Reebok event just recently, and I was trying to find her [Ronda] so we could get a picture, and the Reebok people were like ‘Don’t ask Ronda for a picture.’ I was like ‘Why?’ They were like ‘Don’t, just stay away from Ronda, don’t ask her for a picture.’ I was like ‘Okay…’.
Tate then described exactly what it was that rubbed the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion the wrong way:
“And I guess Ronda came later that day and seeked her [Paige] out, and just cussed her out. They’ve never really had a conversation either. Paige said ‘I don’t know Ronda other than ‘hi, bye.’ That’s it.’ I guess Ronda came up and was like ‘F*ck you, you fair weathered bitch. How dare you cross me.’ She [Paige] was like ‘Cross you? What are you talking about?’ And she [Rousey] said ‘You congratulated Holly Holm for beating me, so f*ck you, you f*cking fair weathered 115-pound…”. She just went off on Paige.”
Yikes. There may only be one person in the history of the UFC to handle a loss worse than Conor McGregor has right now, and you guessed it, that person is one Ronda Rousey.
Aside from all but falling off the face of the earth, the only inklings we’ve heard from “Rowdy” have been news of her signing multi-picture movie deals with the Lifetime Entertainment network and posting a shadowboxing Instagram video here and there. Other than that, we haven’t been given any information that would lead anyone to believe that she still has that same competitive fire in her that set her on the dominant path she so abruptly left.
Unless, of course, you count this unwarranted outburst that was seemingly triggered by a person simply congratulating Holly Holm, the only woman to defeat and dethrone Rousey, on her flawless performance.
If Ronda can’t handle the absence of all the love and adoration that was thrust upon her while she was on top of the sport, it’s difficult to believe that she’ll be able to handle the long and bumpy road back to the top of the mountain where her lost reverence lives.
It looks like we’ll just have to wait and see, whenever that may be.
