No woman has come close to defeating UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey thus far, and the undefeated superstar is of the mind that she could have similar success against the men.
According to Luke Augustus of MailOnline, the 28-year-old titleholder revealed on The Dan Patrick Show that she could potentially defeat the men in UFC’s bantamweight division.
I’m not offended. I really don’t think that’s serious. I consider it a compliment that people will even consider it. I never say that I’m incapable of beating anybody, because I don’t believe in putting limits on myself. So I mean, I would have to say if you’re just talking about what’s in the realm of possibility of what’s possible of who I could beat, well I could beat 100 percent of them. You can’t tell me that there’s a zero percent chance that I can beat anyone on the planet, so I’m never gonna say that.
Rousey is coming off a 14-second demolition of Cat Zingano at UFC 184, which has led to whispers regarding the possibility of the former Olympic judo medalist mixing it up with the men at some point.
Not everyone is convinced Rousey could compete with the opposite sex, though, including UFC fighter Derek Brunson:
Rousey has broken the mold and made women’s MMA a mainstream sport when most thought it couldn’t be done. With that in mind, she seems capable of doing almost anything she puts her mind to.
Any talk about Rousey fighting the guys is speculation at this point, but perhaps the question will be answered once and for all down the line.
