Ronda Rousey Once Broke Presenter’s Ribs With Judo Throw After Claiming 'She Can't Compete With A Man'

UFC legend Ronda Rousey once taught a reporter a tough lesson after she delivered a powerful judo throw that broke his ribs.

The 33-year-old UFC Hall of Famer is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures for women in the history of combat sports.

And presenter Aaron Tru learned not to test the 'Baddest Woman on the Planet' when he spoke to her during an interview for MMA Prime in 2015.

Tru told Rousey, who had destroyed Cat Zingano in a sensational 14-second victory at UFC 184 at the time, that she "doesn't have enough strength and can't compete with a man."

And the MMA icon admitted that his claim had lit a fire in her belly, saying that is "exactly how to push my buttons."

Rousey decided to prove Tru wrong on his remark and planted him to the floor with a devastating judo throw.

But the presenter was left motionless on the floor and gasping for air as he was visibly in pain from the damage taken.

Rousey initially laughed as she climbed to her feet, but her reaction immediately changed after Tru claimed that he might have broken his ribs.

MMA fans were unsympathetic towards Tru and felt that Rousey taught him an important lesson for his outlandish remarks.

YouTube commenter Styxhexenhammer666 posted: "He didn't land on his balls, they just shrank back inside as his ego did the same. Pretty funny s**t."

While someone else wrote: "He had it coming, Shes [sic] a trained fighter i don't know what else he expected."

A third user, Getharian Gaming, commented: "Lmfao. And she was so sweet to him, when any normal person would laugh and say 'Still think I cant [sic] take a man?'"

And a fourth fan added: "This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life! you go Rousey!"

One fan had no sympathy and simply said: "I love how she's giggling while that idiot is writhing on the ground."
