I've been kind of following it... IF Correia had no idea about the book; meaning she didn't read it... then ok, she fucked up "Oops, I'm sorry.". Move on.
IF this was calculated... I'm on the fence, cuz Rousey has said some pretty shitty things to and about her opponents pre-fight in the past in her own right. Now granted, that was also pre-UFC (minus Tate), BUT the principle is the same. So I'm not buying Rousey as a "victim" here by any stretch of the imagination, but Correia might have gone a little bit too far with the suicide jabs... I had no problem with the drug abuse ones. The "champ" deserves a little bit of trash talk after what she's dished out in the past.

Yeah, I agree. For me, the grey area lies in the fact that Rousey has said over and over again she would rather die than lose her belt. So I took Bethe's comments in that vein - she was going to beat Rousey, and Rousey, based on her own previous comments, would die/kill herself.
The other thing is this "You can't say suicide to me because my dad killed himself" is borderline to me as well. It's like a logical fallacy. Bethe said NOTHING about Rousey's father. There is no connection with Rousey herself and Ronda committing suicide there. It's a leap. Like, pretty much everyone on earth has been affected by cancer. But there are still cancer jokes, and comedians who joke about such things.
On the flip side, my best friend growing up lost his mother to suicide, and he was always very sensitive to "yo' momma" jokes and shit as a result. So it's a bit of a tough call. Again, though, in that case, the person being attacked is the mother, whereas Bethe's comments had literally nothing directly to do with Ronda's father.

I would love to see that. I don't care about Bethe one way or another, but I would like to see Rousey fall. But we all know this is yet another gimme fight for Rousey until Cyborg comes along, unfortunately.

But we all know this is yet another gimme fight for Rousey until Cyborg comes along, unfortunately. Well, Zingano & Davis weren't supposed to be gimme fights though... that's just it. I mean, I don't care about Bethe much either really, but I wanna see Rousey lose... and not only because she's such a bitch either. I really do think it will make her a better "fighter" the moment she loses... because that's when we'll really find out what she's made of and how she comes back from it, if she does. Given her personality, I don't think she'd recover, but she could prove me wrong... and that would actually be a good thing.

Yes, exactly. And I would like the whole division to rise up to that "next level" as well. Right now, it's boring because Rousey is so dominant. I think Cat or Tate still have the best shot at her right now, but I still think they are both not close yet. It's like a race saying someone was second place when their time was 7 minutes, but the winner's time was 2 minutes. Sure, you were second, but the best is still untouchably better.

it's amusing to me that Ronda finally found someone as classless as she is and found that she doesn't like it.

Yep, and that's the confidence one can have when their favourite fighter is given nothing but joke-fights.

I can see Dana White doing that. Really, I could.
