As you probably know by now, Ronda Rousey had an extremely disappointing return to fighting Friday night at UFC 207.
The 29-year-old was not only beaten by Bantamweight Champ Amanda Nunes, but she lost in only 48 seconds!
To make matters worse, Nunes rubbed her victory in Rousey's face both during her post fight interview with Joe Rogen AND later on Twitter!
Following the fight, Amanda spoke with Rogen about her victory and said:
"People, let's stop this Ronda Rousey nonsense, okay! I'm the champion, Amanda Nunes. The Lioness!"
Joe then went on to ask the 28-year-old what it was like for her going into the fight when everyone was paying so much attention to her opponent's return. Miz Nunes replied, saying:
"I trained for this girl since my first fight in the UFC, I knew this was going to happen. And tonight, I proved to everybody I'm the best on the planet. Come on guys, you serious?"
The fighter also added:
"Now she's going to retire and she's going to go do movies, she already has a lot of money. In this division, we have a lot of talent. And now you guys have to look at these girls who are working hard and forget about Ronda Rousey."
While the Brazillian athlete's words were harsh enough, she later took to Twitter to taunt her opponent even more by sharing:

Woof!
We certainly understand trash talk, but at least when Miz Rousey had her devastating loss to Holly Holm, Holly was open to the idea of a rematch and somewhat sympathized with her loss. We just hope Ronda can cope with the defeat better than last time.
As for what the Entourage star will do now, several people believe she'll retire — even the fighter's mom, AnnMaria De Mars hopes so as she told TMZ:
"Who wants to see their kid get hit."
But AnnMaria also noted that major decisions like that should not be made immediately following an emotional loss, and her daughter is a big girl who will choose what's best for her.
