Donald Trump joined the chorus of detractors critical of Ronda Rousey after her stunning defeat at UFC 193 on Saturday.

The Republican presidential candidate took to Twitter on Sunday to take a shot at Rousey following her knockout loss to Holly Holm in Melbourne.

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

Trump's barb is an apparent change of heart. He discussed Rousey in an August interview with CNN, insinuating the UFC star liked him and saying "I'd take her on my side as a fighter." Rousey, however, may have draw Trump's ire when she voiced a different opinion of his presidential aspirations.

"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."

In fact, Rousey expressed support for Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders in an interview with Maxim during the run-up to UFC 193.

"I'm voting for Bernie Sanders, because he doesn't take any corporate money," Rousey told Maxim. "I don't think politicians should be allowed to take money for their campaigns from outside interests."

Trump was not the only person to jab Rousey after she lost. Rousey's main MMA rivals, Miesha Tate and Cris "Cyborg" Justino, gloated after she was knocked out.
