To end 2016, former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey returned to the Octagon for a highly anticipated showdown with UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes<\/a>, who was looking to make her first successful title defense at the event. Nunes of course picked up a dominant 48 second TKO win over Rousey<\/a>, defending her title, and handing Rousey the second straight loss of her UFC career. <\/p>\n

\"Ronda<\/p>\n

While initially there was much speculation as to when, or if, Rousey would be looking to return to the Octagon once again, UFC President Dana White has since revealed that Rousey is likely done fighting. <\/a>With the UFC now potentially down another superstar, many believe that Conor McGregor is the UFC’s biggest star. While that of course gives McGregor more negotiating power when negotiating contracts with the promotion, the ‘champ champ’ believes it is wrong to celebrate another person’s defeat. <\/p>\n

He spoke in his online pay-per view interview:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Ronda lost, I woke up to all these messages: \u2018Now let\u2019s see what they do.\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018What?\u2019 I don\u2019t celebrate (that),\u201d McGregor said Saturday in an online pay-per-view interview in Manchester, England. \u201cI love Ronda. I\u2019ve always supported Ronda, and then when she loses that second one people are trying to make me celebrate like, \u2018Now they\u2019ve got nobody.\u2019 That\u2019s the wrong mindset. I don\u2019t celebrate another person\u2019s defeat like that. That\u2019s weak. That\u2019s a weak individual that does that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s people that tried to celebrate when I lost that got nothing to do with it. That\u2019s not the sign of the champion \u2013 that\u2019s not the sign of a true champion. I couldn\u2019t believe it. We\u2019re all in it on our own, but what someone else does or doesn\u2019t do has no effect on me and what I do. I\u2019m doing what I do, she\u2019s doing what she\u2019s doing, everyone else is doing what they\u2019re doing and it is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe handled it one way, but I don\u2019t think what way she handled it was incorrect,\u201d McGregor said. \u201cShe did what she had to do. She got away from the spotlight, she focused on her preparation. She got hit early and went down. That\u2019s it. That\u2019s the fight game, it\u2019s a cruel business. I handled it the way I felt I had to handle it. I\u2019m a cocky mother(expletive), but if you come in and get me, I\u2019ll stand before you and stand before everyone and say, \u2018You got me. I\u2019ll get you next time.\u2019 That\u2019s it.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
