I cannot stand Ronda Rousey and would /will laugh hysterically when she loses but it will never be to some retired boxer like Laila Ali or Anne Wolfe. Those two have no intention of ever fighting Rousey they are just piggybacking off her name because they have been obsolete in their sport for years. All they would need to do is go to where Rousey trains and she would gladly give them their wish along with a painful lesson in humility.
Hope this fight actually happens. Ali will get an **** whipping. also a broken arm, unless she taps. no other alternative possible. the only thing exposed here is some poster's delusions.
In her prime 5'11 170 lb Laila woulda had a picnic with a 5'6 140-145 lber. (I'm not gonna even entertain the current retired old mom version.) Yes even in the cage/octagon Ali woulda been too much. People are so focused on what would happen if it goes to the ground that they ignore how horrible these MMA fighters (especially the women) are on their feet. Ronda has no punching defense. NONE! She's never faced anyone who can remotely threaten her with striking. She charges forward eats these girls weak punches and gropefuks the hell outta them. She cant fight like that with someone who has size, and power. Thats why she'll keep avoiding Cris Cyborg forever. Laila not only has size, she has athleticism, speed and power over Ronda. SHe'd reach Ronda much easier than vice versa. If Ronda gets hit (keep in mind she has ZERO defense) by a Laila wearing 4 oz gloves they may need to make funeral arrangements. There's weight classes for a reason folks in all combat sports.
:rofl:rofl You mixed up Muhammed with Lalia - Lalia never had any of those attributes you claim. 20 pounds does not erase complete inability to wrestle at all. :deal
Pathetic isn't it. Ali does not need to even look at an MMA fighter to be put in her place - there are more than enough female Muay Thai fighters who would bash the **** out of her. Step in the ring with some of the Aussie female Muay Thai fighters and Lalia would not see a round out and leave with a nice Thai tattoo collection.:deal
By women's standards Laila was the most athletic big woman to ever box. All those components I named would exist as advantages over Rousey in her prime. What advantage does Rousey have besides groping er I mean grappling? Again you MMA assgrapplepirates only focus on what would happen in a wrestling exchange and fail to take into account size, reach, speed and punching power. What is Ronda's defense for punches? She gets nailed in almost every UFC fight by flailing no talent washerwomen before she gets ahold of them.
atsch The "most athletic big woman to ever box" - and totally out of her depth against all the top Muay Thai and MMA women all of whom would spank her. **** she was still facing third rate MMA fighters in her third last fight.:deal
You realize this is a woman potentially on the doorstep of being a grandmother (she has a teenaged daughter), right? Yes, of course fighters in MT - or any discipline - in their primes, a dozen or more years her junior, would be favored to beat her eight years after she retired.
I realise it and even Lalia knows it hence the "clarifications" of the back of some dumb journalist's question - those deluded souls such as LavelleFuxwel and Exposed however do not.:deal Irrespective prime Lalia would not last even a Muay Thai fight versus any of the top females - as if she has a chance in MMA. :deal
You think beating a top MMA'ist in MMA is more difficult than beating a top Muay Thai fighter in MT? :think
I have no firm stance on the matter - simply pointing the obvious that if Lalia by her responses favours her chances then there was / is a number of Muay Thai fighters let alone MMA fighters that would have given her the chance.
