Jimmy Smith rips into Ronda Rousey for recent comments
Former UFC commentator and MMA analyst Jimmy Smith blasted Ronda Rousey for criticizing the MMA media.
The former women's champion recently blamed CTE for her knockout losses to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes. She also claimed that many MMA personalities, including Joe Rogan, had turned their back on her when she lost.
Smith offered another side of the story on the Unlocking the Cage with Jimmy Smith podcast.
"Those people [camera crew, backstage staff, support staff] couldn't stand Ronda Rousey. So, don't sit here and tell me you're the victim when the poor guy who's sitting behind the camera, doing his job, gets sh*t on by you. You're mean to the person asking you questions when we're hyping your fight. Don't give me this victim sh*t. Don't. Don't waste my time with it."

"I'm so sick of seeing foreign flags" - Sean Strickland
Sean Strickland, known for his streak of controversial takes, took to X to disapprove of immigrants who still fly and represent the flags of their home countries after moving to the United States of America.
"I'm so sick of seeing foreign flags in America. I don't get it. You left your corrupt country to come to the USA and yet you still rep what you fled? The worst is Hispanics born in America flying a Mexican flag.. Where is your loyalty? Just go back. Enjoy your foreign flag."
