Ronda Rousey channeled her inner Joe Piscopo in a recent teleconference. Or maybe it was her inner Mariah Carey.
The world's most famous mixed martial arts fighter in the world was on a media conference call to promote UFC 193 next month, according to BroBible, when she turned into a diva.
Ronda Rousey's Pre-Fight Routine Requires Increase In Sex
Rousey is scheduled to fight former boxing champion Holly Holm on Nov. 15, and the two were on the call with undercard fighters Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Vaerie Letourneau.
BroBible reported that "well-respected MMA journalist" Marc Raimondi had the audacity to ask Rousey about her recently publicized relationship with MMA fighter Travis Browne:
Ronda Rousey, Holly Holm To Set Attendance Record
"Ronda, I know you're trying to focus and only speak about stuff that's happening inside the Octagon, training and all that, but recently Travis Browne announced that you guys were in a relationship. Were you okay with him announcing that? Were you cool with that?"
"Hello?"
Raimondi did get a response.
"And I'm sorry, it looks like Ronda's line has been disconnected," the teleconference moderator announced.
Based on a statement Rousey released to ESPN earlier this month, Raimondi should've seen this coming.
"I don't talk about my personal life much. That's why it's called 'personal life,'" Rousey told ESPN. "It's true that Travis and I are in a relationship. I've really enjoyed the time we have spent together and getting to know one another. And that's all I'm going to say about it."
In the movie, "Johnny Dangerously," Piscopo's character, Danny Vermin, repeated variations of the line, "My mother grabbed me once. ... Once!"
Now we know not to ask Rousey the same question twice (at least about her personal life).
The diva inside Carey would be proud.
