Ronda Rousey - Why we hate
I) Bully mentality
- July 2012: You know what? I would beat the crap out of Kim Kardashian actually. Any girl who is famous and idolized because she made a sex video with some guy and that's all that you're known for, "Oh, I got my fame for sucking ****", I think it's pretty stupid, sorry, but it's true.

- March 2014: I will seriously give that skank (Arianny Celeste) a black eye. Really, her entire job is wearing a bra and holding a card in the air and she thinks she can talk **** to me? I can't wait to see her at my next fight.

II) Arrogance
- November 2013: In any given moment, under the right circumstance, I think it is possible (to beat Cain Velasquez). You cannot tell me that it is physically impossible. It is possible that in any given moment, if I could find a way, I will beat him.

- June 2014: I can beat any BJJ girl in the world, any weight division, gi or no gi, black belt all the way, in any rule set that they want.

- March 2015: I could beat 100 percent of UFC male bantamweight fighters.

- March 2015: Honestly, I think I can beat Laila Ali in boxing.

- August 2015: I believe I can beat anyone on this planet.

- September 2015: I think I can beat every girl in my division with one hand.
III) Disrespectful behavior
- Miesha Tate (on Ronda Rousey): Before we ever even fought each other, she just kind of came out of the blue and was just started talking trash about me and saying how she was going to slap the title out of my hand. So it was just very disrespectful from the get go and I'd never met her at this point.
- Karo Parisyan: Our guys felt a little hurt from her that she's been a little disrespectful; she thinks she's big. This is what they say and they think, not me – I could care less. It's all good between me and her, but the guys, most of the guys, even (trainer) Gokor (Chivichyan), they're like, all of a sudden she doesn't train with us. She'll come by once a year and she has to get dragged there from her mom, like, "Oh, just come back and say hi to the guys."

- Dennis Hallman: She came and said, "Hey Jamie, I'm really pissed off I brought some of the best coaches in the world here to this show (The Ultimate Fighter), and they're supposed to get paid. Here's three weeks later, and they haven't been paid." That's a legit argument, and Jamie from the UFC, very respectful, and she said, "Oh my gosh, Ronda. I'm so sorry; it will be taken care of very soon." Before she could finish her sentence, Ronda interrupted her and said, "You shut your mouth when I'm talking to you. You don't open your mouth. When I speak to you, you sit there and listen and shut your mouth." She said that to the producer. For what reason? Nobody really knows because she truly has mental health issues.

- Jimmy Pedro: They did a big to-do for her. They rolled out the red carpet, had a big press thing for her. It was very important to the Japanese that they had an American coming to live and train with them for a year. After four days, she decided this isn't for me. Rather than talk to the Japanese, politely ask for her way out of it, she just packed her bags and left. The Japanese were very upset. That's not their culture. They don't understand an American just taking off. That's just not protocol. They shunned the rest of our team and ignored our team. They (the other U.S. judokas) were there for another six weeks. They didn't give them any rides, didn't pay attention to them. They were really pissed off.

- Rhadi Ferguson: We had a training session where we were rolling around on the mat with just newaza. I was a black belt at the time in jiu-jitsu. Ronda began to cry. I said, "What are you crying about?" She said, "I can't do anything." I said, "Ronda, I'm 100 kg (220 lbs) male." She said, "Yeah, but I don't feel like you're supposed to beat me."

- Brendan Schaub: She needs a guy who's gonna take a backseat. That's not me. She also needs a guy that's gonna say "yes ma'am, yes ma'am". She's so successful, she's surrounded by people that worship her and go "yes, yes, that's a great idea". But when I said "I don't think that's a good idea," now I'm a hater.

- Ronda's ex-manager: She believed she was as special as the press made her out to be. They give me absolutely no credit for the success of her career. She's not a good person. You don't forget where you came from. In a sense it was poetic justice because she's wronged so many people that were there for her at the beginning of her career.

IV) Lack of graciousness in defeat
- Before the Holly Holm fight: She's the kind of person where after I beat her and she makes a lot of money, I'm like, "Good for her. Buy yourself a Albuquerque house with that." The last chick (Bethe Correia) it was like, she's a big old *****, I kicked her ***, she made a lot of money and I'm like, "Oh well, whatever. Have fun with that." With Holly, I'll genuinely be happy for her and hope that she accepts her loss in a healthy way and enjoys all the benefits that she got from this fight.
- After hitting herself with Holly Holm's fist: Fake *** cheap shotting fake respect fake humility ***** - "preacher's daughter" my *** - I see through your fake sweet act now - you're getting your *** kicked tomorrow, and I'm really going to enjoy the beating I give you.
- After the Holly Holm fight: You (Paige VanZant) congratulated Holly Holm for beating me, so **** you, you ******* fairweathered 115-pound!
