It was last week on Facebook, former UFC champion Rhonda Rousey's jab at Joe

Rogan: "He's not an expert. He's a fan with an audience. He's never fought.

Taekwondo is not fighting" backfired. Hundreds mocked her on the threads.

 

One take:

    That's like saying Newton wasn't an expert in physics because he never flew

    in a plane. We all put our foot in our mouth at times, it happens. Rhonda

    was a great Champ and will go down as the person who made Women's MMA main

    stream. --Trevor-Ashley Cole

    

Another shot:

    We want to love her. She just shoots herself over and over again in the

    foot. --Matt Brown
