During an interview with Sports Illustrated’s Jon Wertheim, UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson didn’t hold anything back when talking about Ronda Rousey and her losing streak.
In the interview Johnson ripped Rousey for not being able to handle her losses and told her to “grow the fuck up”.
Yeah, absolutely. You know, people say, I visualize myself at this point. I visualize myself losing most of the time just because I’ve seen so many champions lose, and they don’t know how to take it. Their whole world is upside down Oh, my God, what am I going to do?
You look at Ronda Rousey. You got your ass beat, grow the f— up. It happens. It’s mixed martial arts. I don’t want to be like that. If I lose, I’ll be like, I lost.
Yeah, everybody has. Everybody fucking loses. It’s part of the sport. Grow up. Look, Ronda, you lost two fuckiing fights in a row, and you made more fucking money than the women’s roster. You’ll be fine, don’t worry about it.
Rousey last appeared in the UFC at the end of 2016, losing in 48 seconds to Amanda Nunes and it doesn’t appear that she’s coming back to the sports any time soon.
