Justin Bieber gets last laugh on Ronda Rousey

It seems everybody feels now is a good time to pile on Ronda Rousey as the aura of invincibility has been lifted from the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion.

Even pop star Justin Bieber got a shot in during an appearance on “Entertainment Tonight.”

It’s not the first time the two have been linked in a story. Rousey made news earlier this year when she said she upset with Bieber about an incident at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.

Early in the “Entertainment Tonight” appearance, Bieber apologized for allegedly snubbing Rousey and her little sister.

“I guess, supposedly, she asked for a picture with her sister or something, and I guess I said no,” Bieber said. “But I don’t remember this happening so, Ronda, I’m sorry. Don’t kick my ass.”

But then he may have renewed the feud later in the interview when he was asked if there was a skill outside of music that he’d like to improve.

“I would like to get better at boxing,” he said before referring to Rousey’s knockout loss to former world champion boxer Holly Holm. “Did you see Ronda Rousey? She got knocked out cold. Oh my God, she got knocked out so bad. She got pummeled.”

That autograph might not be happening anytime soon.
