(Newscom.au) If witnessing Ronda Rousey crash to the ground was not worrying enough, you should see the color of her feet.

A debate has begun on Reddit.com over an image of Rousey sitting on the ground following her stunning knockout against Holly Holm a little over a week ago.

In the image, Rousey’s feet are a bright mix of yellow and purple.

Here are some of the theories behind the disturbing image.

JAUNDICE

During the fight in Melbourne two Sundays ago, there were controversial and unfounded suggestions it was a result of steroid use.

There have been cases of athletes developing jaundice — which causes a yellow pigmentation in the skin — after using steroids for more than two years.

American Mixed Martial Artist Julie Kedzie hit back at the claims, saying she often had yellow bottoms on her feet but she “didn’t juice EVER”.

@RyanLoco @JESnowden dis ma foot.Yellow too and I swear I didn't juice EVER. I don't think Rousey did/does either pic.twitter.com/bCEiUsLeG1

— Julie Kedzie (@julesk_fighter) November 16, 2015

THE CANVAS

Kedzie said the surface of the Octagon rubbing off on the feet, combined with it being cold, was the cause of the discoloration.

@RyanLoco @JESnowden canvas and cold. My feet always turned yellow.

— Julie Kedzie (@julesk_fighter) November 16, 2015

Kedzie said she would “scrub the sh*t” out of her feet after a bout because “they got yellow as hell”.

The canvas may explain the yellow, but what about the purple?

RAYNAUD’S PHENOMENON

The level of Rousey’s discoloration, especially coming immediately on the back of a brutal knockout, led to an argument that the UFC star was suffering from Raynaud’s phenomenon.

“Raynaud’s (ray-NOHZ) disease causes some areas of your body — such as your fingers and toes — to feel numb and cold in response to cold temperatures or stress,” the Mayo Clinic explains.

“In Raynaud’s disease, smaller arteries that supply blood to your skin narrow, limiting blood circulation to affected areas (vasospasm).”

In most cases the condition is harmless, but in severe cases a loss of blood flow can permanently damage the tissue and even lead to gangrene.

BEST OF THE REST

Among the numerous other theories were:

- Circulation issues;

- UFC fighters apply a resin to their feet for grip, and it can develop a yellow tinge on the sole;

- Weight cutting and dehydration taking a toll on the body;

- Dirty floors; or

- The photograph just has a yellow hue.

Marcus Thornton a.k.a. Pleasure P from Pretty Ricky is fed up with other R&B artists. In particular, those from his era.

During an eye opening interview with DJ Smallz he was asked if there might be future collaborations with him, Bobby V and Ray J, after they released the single "Bad Habit" earlier this year.

Thornton said he didn't think so and describes trying to put together projects with other singers, but having a hard time getting them on the same page.

"Some of these niggas is just fake as fuck. Fake, fake, fake, fake, bro," P said. "I be trying to do an R&B group just because. You got Ginuwine, you got Tank, you got Tyrese. All of those guys in that era that came up, they did it. You got LSG, the best from that era. They did it. My era, these niggas is so flawed. I don't care if they did a group without me in it. I just think it would be dope for our generation. But these niggas so fake. They got so many other intentions, it's just bullshit, a waste of time."

Thornton goes on to describe how R&B singers complain about the content of the material on the radio, however they're not doing anything to balance the scales.

"You can't get mad at the guys on the radio talking about drugs and this, this and that 'cause you ain't doing nothing to change it," he continued. "Y'all complaining, but what y'all doing to change it. Y'all reaching out doing songs together? No. Y'all doing shows together? No. Y'all chasing rappers. Now it's at a point rappers don't even need you no more. They singing on they on shit now."

Sheesh....

 In November 1989, Tracy Lynn Curry, better known by his stage name The D.O.C., was involved in a near fatal car accident after falling asleep at the wheel which damaged his vocal chords, but later changed his fast pace lifestyle, which he claims is the reason he's living today.

The "No One Can Do It Better" rapper says that he was driving through Beverly Hills after leaving a party inebriated and says that he was stopped by police after running a red light. Although, he says he led them on a mini chase, he tells us he was free to go after telling some jokes and taking photos.

"If they'd took me to jail that night, I probably wouldn't be here today." He explained to us that the car accident that happened shorty after altered his reckless lifestyle, "At the rate I was going, nobody could tell me anything at that point."

The 47-year-old recounts falling asleep in his car before he slammed into a divider in which he "flew out the back window of the car and ended up in a tree." He tells us that the accident was so severe that he woke up without his teeth and received vocal damage form medical procedures and actions he took "trying to expedite the health process."

Tyga wasn't giving up that easy.

After the rapper was dumped last week on his 26th birthday by 18-year old on/off girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, for something he supposedly did, the two were spotted hand-in-hand at Justin Bieber's AMA after party Sunday, November 22nd, in West Hollywood.

"This relationship is fluid. It's not a surprise seeing them together so soon," an insider told E! Online. "There are strong feelings there. It's all about the level of commitment. She wants to enjoy being young and her freedom and he is more serious and wants a commitment. So they are trying to figure this out."

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Lil Wayne is attempting to quickly pay off his $2 million debt to Signature Group, a private jet company. TMZ reports that the New Orleans rapper just took out a $1.5 million loan. He put up his private Miami skate park as collateral.

As we previously reported, Wayne was ordered by a judge to pay Signature after he failed to honor their previously agreed upon settlement.

The only silver lining in all of this is that he'll get to keep the art and plaques that were seized from his home by Miami police earlier this month.
