If Rousey can better some men in grappling, and those men are top grapplers, or she can AT LEAST holder her own with them, she'd KILL Floyd. I've trained with women, sure, but I'm 120kg. The women weren't. But don't talk about weight and then talk about Floyd! He is LITERALLY 60/70kg. He weighs as much as a young teenager! Floyd would't have a clue in judo against her. Within 4-5 seconds of clincher he'd be on his back. Baz, just stop posting for a bit. Because you make out like Floyd is some HW who would pick Judo up in weeks. He is a VERY small man who wouldn't have a clue about the game. Some people might be making Rousey out to be something special, but you are making Floyd out to be king kong, mate.
If Mayweather was PHYSICALLY stronger in grappling he would have a slight better chance..he is not more expolosive in anything but punching...ij sure ANY one of the 200 plus pounders she spars with in EVERYTHING tools Floyd...in more realistic terms Floyd cannot even be favored over 15 year old jr high school wrestlers in an MMa fight if each trained for it...Ronda would clean up quickly.If I was abl;e to post some vids I would on this further but im new they wont let me.In the end you are not familiar with outside stlyes other than boxing otherwise you would know JUDO is about leverage and little fod would get tossed EASY,and really would be an easier opponent than Tate.
Ronda Rousey? Is that the one who eats multiple punches when trying to get in position for a takedown? Floyd KOs her in 10 seconds or less.
I'll take the weaker fighter with the all-round skillset, thanks. I trained in Judo as a kid, and even though I didn't get very far, just the basics of what I learned were enough to enable me to hold my own against bigger guys. I truly believe that Floyd would go home with a snapped arm.
She is saying a no rules fight right. In the street u do not want to go to the ground. Most places have debris to include beoken glass and curbs none of which you want to wrestle on or be used as a weapon. then in a real fight u can bite ,Eye gouge, grab genitles etc especially when very close to someone. And when u go down does that person have friends who will get brave and put the boot in.the person you are fughting could produce a weapon also but by Staying on your feet it is easier to avoid these things and and IF NEEDED RUN AWAY When you hear about MMA guys getting into fights they mostly seem to stay on their feet and punch or knee the person
And im not saying boxing is the be all and end all. Mma, boxing and some martial arts if you are very good and train a lot mean you will beat most men out there wether they are bigger or stronger And if i were to fight a ww boxer id rather fight fmj than maidana, rios, matthyse, provo, brawlers would be terrible to fight
Good grief, this. MMA people get way too carried away with their "higher skill levels". Someone above said that Mayweather wouldn't understand "leverage". Seriously? Mayweather, and I don't even like the guy, would pulverize Rousey. He's way too fast, skilled and strong for her. He would tag her face a few times and that would be about that.
That's your ignorance..faster with strikes is not relevant if you cant nutral;ize the grappling on that level.No one one that has done both shouldn't even comment on this subject,you boxing purists wouldn't last one minute with my guys under MMa rules or no rules.its that simple..ronda is STRONGER than Floyd and trains with 200 plus pounders that would tear him apart really you guys need to educate yourselves continually doing Ronda threads whenyou have never even been in a cage to see what it feels like,you need to know BOTH sides of the arguament and you have no say until otherwise.
I have a brown belt in BJJ and weight 105 kgs with a push press of 190 kg and a back squat of 300 kg. I have also trained with guys who make a living at MMA and grappling. I also cannot stand Mayweather and think these boxing first guys are clueless but FFS Mayweather would destroy Rousey in MMA. In fact: You could train Mayweather exclusively in judo for like a year and he would smash her at that also.
Plus it makes me laugh how people say Mayweather would lose because he only knows how to box, like he couldn't learn other areas for in case Rousey closes the gap and goes for the TD. I guess it would be impossible for a nobody like Mayweather to defend a Rousey take down and get punches off. Only elite athletes like Miesha Tate and Liz Carmouche can do that
You think Mayweather is only faster with strikes? Mayweather is massively faster on his feet, it is not even remotely close, you are talking a Saloon vs a super car. Compared to what Mayweather is used to, Rousey would be moving in slow motion. And yes, Mayweather would lose to a decent GUY under MMA rule, but here is fighting a female and men who suck (compared to other men) can still easily beat the Worlds best females. You can see this in every sport there is.
Ah, well, if he cross trained he wouldn't be a pure boxer anymore and he would indeed smash Rousey. Too many times have I seen the story of the pure striker vs the crosstrained fighter and I know how that story ends.
But when have we ever seen an elite, all time great male striker vs a female crosstrainer who fights nobodies in a sport with a minuscule talent pool?
ronda is a olympic judoka she will kill floyd in a fight its not hard to avoid being knocked out if you rush in with your Head covered up which ronda would do. Give him 1 year in judo and wrestling and put on 40lbs of muscle he wins tho. Floyd definitly has the money for the best judo/jiu jitsu teachers and sparring the world could get.
