Ronda Rousey has fostered a bad-ass image over the last few years. She does what she wants, says what comes to her head and never makes apologies for it. The in-your-face attitude -- and her dominance in the Octagon -- made Rousey the biggest star to ever grace the UFC's Octagon.
It has also helped earned her abuse from fans on social media following her loss, Holly Holm believes.
The new UFC women's bantamweight champion said she does not agree with much of the venom Rousey has received. But she also understands the origin.
"I don't think that anybody deserves that," Holm told Ariel Helwani on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour. "I do think that she put herself in that position. She's even said herself that if people don't like her style, then she doesn't care. That's who she is and she doesn't claim to be anybody else. I don't have any animosity towards her. A lot of people feel like maybe I should, but I just don't waste energy with stuff like that."
