Ronda Rousey says she's her own worst critic.

Even with a 34-second, technical knockout victory of her outspoken UFC 190 opponent Bethe Correia (highlights here), she was still able to find fault in her mixed martial arts (MMA) game. "I know I made a couple of mistakes," Rousey revealed after the fight.

A sentiment shared by one of her idols.

While returning mixed martial arts (MMA) legend Fedor Emelianenko continues to negotiate with UFC, he made time to catch a glimpse of Rousey's latest performance.

And he was not impressed.

"To date, [Rousey] stands out as number one in the world rankings," Fedor said during a Q&A session in the North Caucasus (via Bloody Elbow). "But I do not like that she misses a lot of punches, which leads to painful reception. I do not advocate such tactics, especially for women."

This criticism might be particularly hard to swallow for "Rowdy," who has professed her love for the former PRIDE FC heavyweight champion on multiple occasions. It also comes at a time when Rousey's MMA arsenal is rounding into form.

With three knockout victories inside the Octagon, you can bet her punching power is now on the level of her Olympic Judo skills and enough to dethrone women's boxing champions.

In addition, Rousey is now six title defenses into her UFC career and has forged a remarkable run in Hollywood. Partly on the strength of her role as pioneer for women's MMA inside the Octagon, having enabled strawweights to be brought into the fold.

"The Last Emperor," however, would probably have the 28-year-old champion stick to looking pretty.

"There are a lot of sports where women look like women, like gymnastics, water sports, maybe some athletics. MMA is for men. It's a man's sport," Fedor said a few months prior to his return.

Whether it's due to his old-school morals and values -- his daughters are not involved in combat sports -- or just plain intelligent criticism, his latest remark can be chalked up to Fedor simply being Fedor. The 38-year-old Sambo champion is a known crusader against women being involved in MMA.

Will his view change anything? Probably not, but perhaps his outlook can change some day, just as it did for UFC president Dana White.
