UFC president Dana White says if Laila Ali is serious about fighting Ronda Rousey to call him and he’ll make it happen!
White was leaving Mastro’s Steakhouse in Beverly Hills — when he made it very clear he’s interested in setting up a fight between Muhammad Ali’s daughter and the reigning UFC women’s champ.
But whether they step into the ring to box or climb into the octagon for an MMA match White says one thing’s for sure — Rousey will beat the living crap out of Ali. In fact, White says Ali would be “in the 14 seconds range”, which is how long or should I say short time it took Rousey to beat her last opponent, Cat Zingano.
“[Ronda’s] actually the best fighter in the world … Laila Ali would be in big trouble against Ronda Rousey.”
Bottom line, White says he wants to make the fight happen — “I’m serious if [Laila’s] serious. Call me Laila.”
Obviously White has a bias in his cheers for Rousey but he’s still telling the truth and also sees dollar signs in this potential fight.
If Ali isn’t willing to train in MMA (which is no easy task), Rousey says she’s willing to train to become a boxer.
