It seems like Eminem is an MMA fan, at least if a verse from one of his new songs is any indication. The famed rapper calls out UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, referring to her as a "slaughterhouse in a blouse."

Rousey, one of the most dominant fighters on the planet right now, is celebrated (and slammed, somewhat) in "Shady XV," the title track from Eminem's new album.

The news first came to light in a report from Fox Sports. The lyrics in question, which are potentially not suitable for work or family environments, read as follows:

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

So there we have it.

This is not the first time Eminem has called out a celebrity in his rap lyrics. In fact, he does it all the time; it's part of what made him famous. Who could forget his epic takedowns of Christina Aguilera and Tom Green, to name just a couple? Those were the halcyon days, huh?

It's just another indication of Rousey's entrance into the mainstream consciousness. An Olympian for judo, Rousey is 10-0 in professional MMA and has never been seriously challenged. She also has appeared in the films The Expendables 3 and Furious 7, among others. By MMA standards, these kinds of pop culture appearances qualify as major crossover success. 

Now 42 years old, Eminem is one of the most financially successful emcees of all time. 

UPDATE: Rousey appeared Wednesday on Jimmy Kimmel Live and addressed the verse. "Art isn't meant to be nice," she said diplomatically.

The full song is available below, but please note that it contains strong language:
