    NO :deal Klitschko's arm is TOO thick, and Ronda at most weighs 140 pounds. Klitschko will drag her all over the place.

    An armbar is pretty potent.

    It's basically your entire body against one arm. But, Wlad's arms are like tree trunks. I'd not bet on the outcome, but would like to see it ;)

    A 12 year old girl could finish an armbar on whomever has the biggest arms in the world. The hips in this example could still produce more than enough force to prevent a full extended arm from flexing.

    The issue would be how one enters into this position to finish.

    No, he could even let her grub it and still would pick her up and ram her into a wall, floor fence whatever and knock her unconscious.

    A male the same size as Rhonda would have a good chance to hold it against Klit but not a female

    Exactly. Wlad is like a giant . He could step on her by accident and it would be all over.

    I would say maybe...but think hes going to overpower through it.It would have to be the best armbar she ever did,but wouldn't put it past her..its not a he or she thing its mostly leverage and being able to sustain a enough force on the arm to torgue it...this is of course if he lets her get in thatposition,i don't think she would get him there to where it would sufficeinlty work at its best,he would most likely overpower her.

    If Wlad and Rousey somehow fought in the octagon and Wlad didn't hold back, then we could very well see the first ever death in the UFC.

    The size and strength difference between Wlad and Rousey is literally about the same as an average man vs about a 9 or 10 year-old.

    But I'm sure there are still some feminized, brainwashed Rousey fans out there who think she'd have a chance. Someone go ask Joe Rogan:lol:.

    As has been stated here, the armbar isn't even her main problem, it's getting him in a position to do it. Even with her elite level judo, taking down someone so much bigger than her would be incredibly difficult.

    I'd rule out flying armbars as they are very low percentage when your opponent is the same size, never mind twice the size of you.

    No, being so close to such an impressive physical specimen will have Rousey's crotch wetter than a British summer and Wlad will easily slip out, before slipping back in if you know what I mean.
