Laila Ali – the daughter of Muhammad Ali – is one of the best female boxers ever. When asked if she could beat Ronda Rousey, Ali said there isn’t a woman alive that can beat her, not even the undefeated UFC champion. Ali even took a shot at Rousey noting her height advantage and saying “She’s like the size of my daughter, my 3-year old”. Rousey of course is never one to back down from a fight and fired back at Ali.
“If she wants to take me up on that, I’m around,”Rousey told The Daily Beast. “She’s retired and has several kids. I understand why she’d think that because she has a size advantage, but if you saw my last fight it had nothing to do with size or strength at all. That’s not how I beat people. So you can’t count having a size and strength advantage as having a real advantage against me.”
I’m sure people will definitely pay to see this one.
Rousey (11-0) is undefeated with 10 of 11 victories coming in the first round. Her last two championship fights were finished in 30 seconds – combined.
Ali hasn’t fought since 2007. If it was just straight boxing she might have a chance against Rousey and that’s still a strong MIGHT, but MMA, Rousey will destroy her no questions asked.
