Now I have another reason to call Round Rousey a hot-headed twat.
Or at least, from now on, just a twat.
During an appearance on Ellen this week, the extremely-popular UFC fighter got into even more hot water for a painful reveal: after her embarrassing loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193, she contemplated committing suicide.
Here's the clip in full from Degeneres' Ellentube video service.
"What am I anymore, if I'm not this?"
I never been a fan of Rousey's, but now I like her even less.
You considered killing yourself...because you lost a UFC match.
You poor sweetheart.
But seriously, who the fuck do you think you are?! Wanting to take your life because you lost a match to an equally-talented female fighter who kicked your ass fair and square?! Is your ego so inflated that your brain cannot except common sense, grace, confliction and self-worth? And then when giving a reason as to why you just had to change your mind and stay with us...you said, "I want to have his babies." You basically said that you want to stay on Earth to rope a guy into bearing his children.
Wow, he has to feel honored for that. Ugh.
I understand that--for whatever reason, when being a fighter you sometimes must be an egotistical, hard-headed asshole and and mock and troll your opponents; that drives up intensity and drama between you and the other fighter for the match. That's what everyone excepts. But other times, you have to have true sportsmanship and grace, so that you can accept a loss every once in a while, and you won't look even more than like an egotistical, hard-headed asshole.
Who the hell are you to say that you want to kill yourself for such a mundane, asinine reason, while there are many other people who have even more horrible situations they have going on and much more horrible (even believable) reasons to commit.
Ronda, I'm so happy Holly Holm knocked you out at UFC 193, because you deserve to get knocked back down to Earth with some sense, awareness and humility. Watching you act like a complete bitch--not only to every one of your colleagues, but also to many others--makes me sick. And this obnoxious behavior a lot of people, like me, watch come out of you annoys me to no end. So after this, this had to make so many people stop standing behind you.
In all seriousness:
Yes, considering suicide is a horrible thing, nearly as much as actually doing it. And if there was another reason to do it, I'd actually feel sorry for her. And I'm even happy she didn't actually do it. But because of the fact that she wanted to take her own life for an L in her career (not many-but one), I feel very inclined to call her out on this bullshit and not take her crocodile tears seriously. It's one thing to feel hurt about losing something that isn't a life, but it's damn well definitely another to lose a life (whether or not it's yours) for losing something, and that is just deplorable.
She wanted our sympathy for losing a martial arts match, and she ain't gonna get it.
And I thought hosting SNL was a bad thing for her.
Ronda Rousey...bye.
