Donald Trump is "glad' that former UFC champ Ronda Rousey lost her title to Holly Holm during their highly anticipated fight this past Saturday in Melbourne, Australia. Rousey's defeat to Holm has been dubbed a sensational upset.

"Glad to see that @RondaRousey lost her championship fight last night. Was soundly beaten - not a nice person!" Trump tweeted on his social media account.

According to USA Today, Trump insinuated in an August interview with CNN that Rousey liked him.

"I'd take her on my side as an example." Trump told the CNN. 

However, Rousey expressed a different opinion saying that she wouldn't vote Trump. 

"I mean, I wouldn't vote for him," Rousey told CNN. "I just really wouldn't trust the guy with running my country, that's all. ... I'm not really going to get into specifics of it, but, I mean, I don't want a reality TV star to be running my country." 

Last week, Rousey said that she would vote for Democratic Party's candidate Bernie Sanders

Trump isn't the only one who's "glad" about the sports superstar's defeat. According to Bleacher Report, Lady Gaga also cheered for Rousey's loss because of her supposedly lack of sportsmanship before the fight.

"That's what you get when you don't touch gloves," the singer posted in her Instagram account.

Before the fight started, Rousey apparently refused to touch gloves with Holm. Touching gloves is a common display of pre-fight decorum.

Fellow fighters Miesha Tate and Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino were also glad with the result. It can be recalled that Tate fought twice with Rousey. Meanwhile, Cyborg has yet to arrange a fight with the former champ.

Rousey is yet to give a public statement. Rousey was taken to a hospital after the fight, hence she did not feature in the post-fight news conference.

Rousey later made a post on her instagram account saying she's fine and that she will be back.
