Ronda Rousey was on the receiving end of an X-rated rant from former UFC and WWE commentator Jimmy Smith.
In a recent interview with NewsNation, Rousey called out people around the UFC, including Joe Rogan, for turning on her after her dominant championship run concluded in embarrassing fashion.
On Monday’s episode of his MMA-focused show ‘Unlocking the Cage’ on SiriusXM, Smith went on an explicit tirade about how Rousey was despised by staff members for her rude and entitled behavior.
‘Let me let you in on something,’ Smith said. ‘Ronda, if you’re listening. The people behind the scenes — camera people, audio people, the people you can push around and bully and talk down to — can’t stand your f****ng ass.’
‘I said, ‘Why?’ They said: ‘She was a b***h to us from the moment she sat down to the moment she got up,’ Smith continued. ‘Like, it’s our fault she has to do this interview to hype her next fight, and she’s just miserable and she’s mean to us and we can’t stand her.”

After her UFC tenure ended with two losses, Rousey joined WWE where she stayed until 2023
Smith also opened the segment by saying Rousey wants ‘all of the credit and none of the blame’ for her triumphs and failures in the Octagon.
Rousey was crowned the inaugural UFC women’s bantamweight champion in 2013 after the UFC acquired Strikeforce’s roster.
After six successful title defenses, Rousey suffered her first career loss with a head-kick knockout from Holy Holm in 2015. The following year, Rousey barely landed anything against Amanda Nunes as she was finished on her feet in 48 seconds.
Rather than trying again in the UFC, Rousey opted for the pro wrestling route and joined WWE from 2017 through last year.
‘They were cheering when she got out. That’s what I was told,’ Smith added. ‘Because those are the people you can be mean and rude to, and they can’t fight back. Those people couldn’t stand Ronda Rousey.’
