UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey had her name dropped this week in a new track from rap superstar Eminem; though the line laid wasn't necessarily of the most flattering nature, Rousey said on Wednesday night that she wasn't at all offended.

In his new track "Shady XV," the title track of the new collaborative album released this week, Eminem put forth the following verse regarding Rousey:

"I got a Magic Johnson

It's like a Magic Wand allows me to not let a blonde arouse me

If Ronda Rousey was on the couch with the condoms out

Holding a thousand

Magnums at once to pounce me

I'll laugh in response to how she dances and flaunts it around me

Her flat little badonkadonk is bouncing around

And all I see is Paulie Malignaggi, she's slaughterhouse in a blouse"

Rousey was asked about her reactions to the song in an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, and made it clear it was more of an honor than an insult.

"He's an artist and art isn't meant to be nice, it's meant to make you feel something," Rousey said (transcribed by Marc Raimondi at MMAFighting.com). "I like being called a slaughterhouse in a blouse. I think that's cool. I'm not perfect, but parts of me are pretty awesome and I think if Eminem took the ass Pepsi Challenge, he would totally pick me as his favorite."

"I feel like getting rapped about by Eminem is like getting armbarred by me. It might not be so pleasant if you're on the other side of it, but it's so skillfully done you have to be honored."

Penick's Analysis: The "slaughterhouse in a blouse" line is kind of a compliment in its own right. Slaughterhouse is one of the rap groups on Shady Records actually collaborating on the album anyway, and it's classic Eminem wordplay used with Rousey as the subject. It is kind of a new mainstream mark for Rousey as well, referenced in a completely different genre than is typical, so in its own way it's a cool feather in her cap as a star.
