Aging rap dad Eminem had some choice words for UFC bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey on his newest song “ShadyXV.”

The champ seems unfazed by his less-than-flattering attentions, though.

Hailing from the small northern city of Sudbury, Ontario and unable to leave Canada due to legal issues, Gagnon has faced a number of hurdles in his advancement.

That hasn’t stopped him though.

Sarah talked to him for Fightland. To read the story go here.
