Ronda Rousey can be pretty dangerous when you get her mad or cross the line and, apparently, this was the case with that much celebrated talk about how she manhandled her ex-boyfriend.
There are always two sides of a story and Rousey provides everyone with a better insight into what really went down at the time.
The incident, which was mentioned in her autobiography "My Fight/Your Fight," included that incident with her ex-boyfriend named only as Snappers McCreepy. Rousey says that her former beau took nude pictures of her without her consent.
When she confronted him about it, her ex blocked her from leaving the apartment, which left the Rousey no choice but to fight her way out of it.
"I punched him in the face with a straight right, then a left hook," Rousey wrote. "He staggered back and fell against the door."
But, apparently, that didn't stop there as the guy jumped into the passenger seat of Rousey's car and tried to straighten things out. The effort didn't work, leading Rousey to go down, pull the guy out of the car, and then speed off.
With that in mention, does the whole thing qualify as domestic violence? Or was it out of self-defense as Rousey explains after discussing the whole thing with her lawyers?
Also, does the whole scenario deserve to be compared with that of Floyd Mayweather's case? This is with reference to that incident of Mayweather pleading guilty to misdemeanor battery domestic violence. The undefeated boxer ended up serving 60 days in jail in 2011 for hitting the mother of his three kids.
By all accounts, the incidents seem a bit far and seeing that Rousey did have reason (nude picture taking without consent). It hardly seems something that will fall under domestic violence but instead looks more like an invasion of privacy charge.
And on the self-defense claim? Well, seeing that she was technically cornered and forced into a situation wherein she had nowhere to go, what else was she to do?
