Just before Beyoncé performed “Diva,” the 34-year-old singer played MMA fighter Ronda Rousey’s famed “do-nothing bitch” speech. “I have this one term for the kind of woman that my mother raised me to not be. And I call it a do-nothing bitch,” [Rousey said in a UFC vlog earlier this summer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UV9-AL2JtQ "undefined"), audio from which Beyoncé projected to the crowd. “A kind of chick that just tries to be pretty and be taken care of by somebody else. That’s why I think it’s hilarious when people say my body looks masculine or something like that. Listen, just because my body was developed for a purpose other than f—ing millionaires, doesn’t mean it’s masculine. I think it’s femininely badass as f— because there’s not a single muscle in my body that isn’t for a purpose. Because I’m not a do-nothing bitch.” After the concert, Rousey retweeted a story about Beyoncé using her words to introduce “Diva.” She also posted a photo to Instagram of the track playing on her phone. UFC president Dana White also shared the clip from Beyoncé’s concert on his Twitter account. > [](https://twitter.com/danawhite/status/640423895326048256) For more on Beyoncé at [Budweiser Made in America](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/09/06/beyonce-2015-made-in-america-festival "undefined"), head here.
