Media strikes back! Ex-UFC announcer Jimmy Smith torches Ronda Rousey: ‘Cheering when she got knocked out’

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Former UFC champion Ronda Rousey has burned a number of bridges since strolling away from her UFC profession. After all, for those who ask “Rowdy,” she may say the other and argue that folks turned towards her after a pair troublesome losses. Both method, there was a number of pressure and battle amidst the Rousey downfall that lingers to at the present time.

Just lately, Rousey has made headlines whereas selling her new e book, Our Combat. Apart from discussing her concussion points within the lead as much as competitors, Rousey actually struck again at media members like Joe Rogan, labeling them “a bunch of assh—es” for failing to help at her lowest level.

Now, at the least one member of the media is putting again. Former UFC coloration commentator Jimmy Smith is standing as much as Rousey’s latest feedback, and he describes her as a terror behind the scenes. Based on Smith, Rousey has no proper to play the sufferer card when she was actively bullying the individuals attempting to interview right here.

“I’ve by no means been a non secular particular person,” Smith started. “One factor that’s all the time stated about God, he will get all of the credit score, not one of the blame. That’s what Ronda Rousey desires: all of the credit score, not one of the blame. I need credit score for all my wins; my losses I had CTE and I had this and I had that. ‘I’m the best to ever do it,’ however when it didn’t work, it was so and so and by no means me. She by no means offers credit score to the individuals who really beat her. The concept that ‘I left MMA and went to the WWE trigger I had concussion issues’ is unnecessary!”

He continued, “The individuals behind the scenes: digicam individuals, audio individuals, the individuals you may push round, and the individuals you may bully, and the individuals you may discuss all the way down to —Can’t stand your f—king ass. Everyone behind the scenes that needed to put a mic on Ronda Rousey couldn’t stand her. I stated why? They stated ‘She was a b—ch to us from the second she sat down, to the second she bought up.’

“Prefer it’s our fault that she has to do that interview to hype her subsequent struggle and he or she’s simply depressing, and he or she’s imply to us, and we are able to’t stand her. They have been cheering when she bought knocked out … These are the individuals you will be imply to and impolite to, they usually can’t struggle again. These individuals couldn’t stand Ronda Rousey, so don’t sit right here and inform me that you just’re the sufferer. When the poor man sitting behind the digicam is doing his job, will get s—t on by you otherwise you’re imply to the particular person asking you questions after we’re hyping your struggle, don’t give me this sufferer s—t.”

Although Smith wasn’t working as UFC commentator throughout Rousey’s reign, he was definitely energetic within the media throughout her time as a fighter and the next fallout. I can not bear in mind many explosive Jimmy Smith headlines in my very own decade plus of protecting the game, so it could seem that Smith simply actually feels strongly right here.

I wouldn’t count on a Ronda Rousey response.
