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."

All the same shit people love the Diaz's for. So what.
The Diaz brothers do have their fair share of haters though. Really no middle ground with captivating personalities like this...people either love em or hate em.

the diaz brothers are also much more humble, and don't buy into what people say about them.

For the record I hate the Diaz bros and Ronda.

Never liked Ronda's personality because I've known enough of these people in real life. Super abrasive people who also love to play the victim. Think their shit doesn't stink, "oh you just can't handle me cuz I'm too real" kind of chick. Ugh.

I was so happy to see her get destroyed by a true sportswoman. I think I've watched the fight in it's entirety about 20-30 times.

Will you cry when she gets the title back? If you do send me the tears so I can make a nice soup out of them.

She wasn't making a whole lot of money in the beginning either. You might be on to something.
Well we def know shit talking is what needs to be done to be a big star these days. Really is a shame but i guess it is what it is.

I always loved the Diaz brothers but they crack me up too , Nate Diaz says the funniest shit , like his interview with helwani after Melendez vs Alvarez or his recent tweet to Reebok haha
