Lady Gaga and Floyd Mayweather (through 50 Cent) twist the knife on Ronda Rousey

Floyd Mayweather I understand, but Lady Gaga? Really?

A lot of people were delighted to see Holly Holm dethrone Ronda Rousey as UFC women’s bantamweight champion for various reasons.

Some enjoyed the idea of a new champion rejuvenating what was thought to be a weak division with an elite belt-holder. Others appreciated the David vs Goliath narrative, where Holm did the hard work to achieve the seemingly impossible.

Some people, however, just dislike Rousey.

Floyd Mayweather has had previous with the former baddest woman on the planet, and the undefeated pugilist seemed to take joy out seeing Rowdy lose. Although, he apparently got 50 Cent to do his dirty work for him on Instagram.

LMAO FLOYD TOLD ME TO POST THIS ?, he want me to do the dirty work.? #EFFENVODKA #FRIGO #SMSAUDIO

A somewhat surprising Rousey hater to emerge post-UFC 193 is bin bag dress enthusiast Lady Gaga. The pop star did not appreciate Rousey refusing to touch gloves with Holm before the fight.

Reality TV star/ republican presidential candidate also took a swipe at Rousey following the fight. The wig-wearing gazillionaire admitted he was glad to see her lose her belt and claimed that she wasn’t a nice person.
