Ronda Rousey has thrown several jabs at Floyd Mayweather Jr. over the past several months.
Floyd doesn't seem at all bothered. In fact he often says he has no idea who Rousey is, while the UFC champion has maintained that she could beat the former boxing champ in a mixed martial arts fight.
During her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday, October 6, Rousey said she'll make sure Money May remembers her in the future.
"I haven't gotten any texts or calls [from Floyd]," Rousey told Jimmy. "He still maintains he has no clue who I am. If I ever run into him...every time I run into him I'm gonna reintroduce myself every time. Maybe one day he'll actually remember me."

Losing a fight is nothing to be ashamed of, but crapping all over the mat afterwards might be a different story.
On Saturday, October 3, mixed martial arts heavyweights Daniel Cooper and Travis Wolford squared off at Ruckus in the Cage in West Virginia.
Cooper forced Wolford to submit after catching him in a guillotine choke. When Cooper got his feet you could see that he had suffered an embarrassing accident.
"Everyone is still talking about it. Never seen anything this gross in my entire career of promoting fights but shit happens and could happen to anyone," Ruckus in the Cage promoter, Chris Smith, said via Bloody Elbow. "Daniel Cooper literally beat the crap out of "The Brown Bomber" Travis Wolford in Ruckus in the Cage in Beckley Oct. 3. Before the fights started he went to Chili Night and ate some hot chili. During his bout he had a colossal explosion where chili beans and everything he ate landed all over the mat. Says he instantly lost 15 pounds.... Plans on fighting November 13 in Summersville to prove that it was just an accident. Any takers???"

VladTV caught up with G-Unit comedian Jack Thriller at the jam packed Keith Murray and Fredro Starr event. In this exclusive he shared his high hopes for the battle and also spoke on being unsuccessful when he stepped in the ring at the BX Fight Club.
Jack took off his host hat for the BX Fight Club, and recently decided to throw the gloves on and suffered a loss while facing off against frequent BXFC participant, Proteus. When asked for a recap of the fight, the 16 or Better CEO explained that taking the L was due to him being out of shape and less prepared for the bout than his opponent. He then informed battle rap correspondent Mike Florence that he was ready to redeem himself by knocking out a man who he had been involved in a confrontation with earlier in the evening.
The clip closes out with Jack sharing his strategy for his upcoming celebrity boxing match with 40 Glocc and also stating how he was unable to predict who would be the winner between Fredro Starr and Keith Murray.

Keeping Up With the Kardashians and it's spinoffs would have a closet full of Emmy Awards if Kanye West had anything to do with it.
The controversial rapper gave his opinion on the subject during an interview with Louisa Stoppard on SHOWstudio's "Camera."
"I feel proud to be in a family that has so many people breaking ground for the generations to come," West said in response vto a question about Caitlyn Jenner. "I just feel like, 'Whoa, reality show.' That's so fucking new of an art form. My wife and her family should have had plenty of Emmys by now. But reality shows are considered to be like rap was when the Montriond wouldn't let Run DMC or motherfucking Will Smith stay there because they were rappers. Or the idea that a of a reality star not being allowed into a fashion show. Or not being nominated for their show even if it's the longest running and the most popular and everybody I know watches it."

Rachel Dolezal, the former N.A.A.C.P. chapter president in Spokane, caught the nation's attention in June when it was revealed that she was born to white parents, but pretended to be African American.
She eventually resigned from her position due to public pressure even though the N.A.A.C.P. still supported her.
In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Rihanna, offered her support to Dolezal.
“I think she was a bit of a hero, because she kind of flipped on society a little bit,” Rihanna told Lisa Robinson. “Is it such a horrible thing that she pretended to be black? Black is a great thing, and I think she legit changed people’s perspective a bit and woke people up.”
Do you agree with Rihanna?

Nick Gordon, the boyfriend of Bobbi Kristina Brown, could be facing murder charges as a secret grand jury convenes in Georgia.
Radar Online reports that “the District Attorney is convening a secret grand jury and it’s likely to result in charges against Nick Gordon.”
Bobbi was was found unconscious, face down, submerged in water in her bathtub on January 31, 2015 in her Roswell, Georgia home. Her friend Max Lomas and Nick reportedly found her.
While Lomas called 911, Nick administered CPR until paramedics arrived.
Bobbi was rushed to the hospital, but the time she spent without oxygen caused irreparable brain damage to the 22-year old only child of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown.
She remained in a coma until her death on July 26, 2015.
In June, Gordon was hit with a $40 million wrongful death lawsuit by Bobbi's family, alleging he beat her after an all-night “cocaine and drinking binge.”
The lawsuit also accused Gordon of giving his girlfriend “toxic cocktail” that knocked her out.
Bobby Brown is pointing the finger at Gordon in the death of his daughter, according to Billboard.
“In regards to the civil litigation, we believe we know who harmed Bobbi Kristina Brown and his name is Nick Gordon," Bobby's attorney Christopher Brown said in a statement.

During VladTV's interview with Kurupt and Roscoe, the brothers touch on the Drake and Meek Mill beef while reminiscing about their own dealings with ghostwriters.
Kurupt knew of Meek Mill back in Philly when he was just a young, rapping teen with braids. These days he applauds Meek for his success, and when it comes to his beef with Drake, Kurupt feels they should just "ride it out." "You know, they were friends, that happens a lot," he explains. "Friends get into it, they have disagreements - I think that it'll pass over." Roscoe agrees, and though him and Kurupt are both into Meek's music, in the end he believes Drake reigned supreme with his diss tracks. "I like the Drake record better but I like Meek better as a rapper," Roscoe admits. After praising Drake for his lyrical ability, Kurupt adds "I know this much: if they went to war, you'd see a different Meek and you'd see a different Drake."
"Everybody has a ghostwriter that you love," Kurupt goes on to tell DJ Vlad when asked about Drake's credibility as a lyricist - everyone except Kurupt, of course. "I'm Kurupt cuz, you can't compare people to me...you gotta understand there's your hip-hop, and then there's emcee hip-hop. In emcee hip-hop, there are no ghostwriters. We are the ghosts."
Later on in the clip, Kurupt does admit to having a ghostwriter at one point in the beginning of his career. "Snoop wrote my first winner, 'N*ggas Don't Give a F*ck,'" he confesses. "I did Snoop's first verse, Daz did his second verse and they us let do our own third verse where I wrote half and Daz wrote half...it's part of the game, my n*gga."
