Rousey v Mayweather?

[Aaron Gustaveson]

Obviously this forum may not be the most most impartial but what do you all think?

I don't think it's unrealistic that Mayweather would connect at some point early in round one.
That would be the only really dangerous time in the whole fight, and he might clip her while she goes in for the clinch.

Or; She's simply shoot under his punches. Maybe even fake a lot of shots from a distance to make him lose his ability to react to them.
And kicking would probably be good, to take him out of his range. She can't kick for shit, but that doesn't matter, it would just be a tool to control distance.

Rhonda would circle away from him, make him come to her, and she would have a gameplan that involves a very high guard with head movement.

The rest would be a clean throw, total dominance on the ground, and a tapping Floyd, or a broken arm. And then another broken arm if he still hasn't given up.

70/30%, Rhonda wins! That's my opinion! :}

[Aaron Gustaveson]

I agree except, what if she just crawls over to him? Then he has no opportunity to punch her?

[Jack LaBarge]

1. Rhonda's standup is joke.

2. She's not a man= She's not as fast or as strong as Mayweather. Its NOT EVEN FUCKING CLOSE!!!

3. Rhonda does certain things incredibly great!!! But she is a very incomplete MMA fighter. The competition level in the womens divisions is very weak. It seems Dana wants it to stay that way too.

The only shot Rhonda would have is if it went to the ground.

Mayweather wins 85%/15%. IMO


**If we were talking about a male MMA champion. Mayweather losses 95%/5%. IMO**

Rousey 95%/5% -- I've been handled by upper level females before and I'm positive they could kick my ass, regardless of the fact that I have a penis. Ronda keeps her chin tucked hands up and dives in; she's taking his arm home.

[Jack LaBarge]

Sorry Ross but your no Floyd Mayweather. Just sayin

[Ross Davidson]

Lol and you've obviously never grappled before size, strength <<< technique. No grappling experience, no win. Especially if a) same weight class b) both champions.

Well that's funny because I've seen Blackbelt World Champion Jiu Jitsu guys get beat up in the cage . Its a fight. Technique is awesome but lets not be foolish to think superior strength doesn't mean anything in a real fight. Can she get him down. Maybe, we will never know.

[Ross Davidson]

You're right, it's a fight. But Ronda is the more complete fighter. Sure her boxing isn't anywhere near Mayweather's, but how often does he train kicks? Knees? What about checking leg kicks? What about his ability to avoid combat strikes? You can't just stand in front of someone and trade and slip. What about the combos? Sure her boxing is relatively horrible, but who says she's counting on her punches landing? What if she throws a 1 2 to set up a roundhouse, which is to set up a level change or a tie; and even if she's not successful on the first attempt, it's only a matter of time. There's way too much happening for him to know how to, not only defend, but also stay on the offensive, properly.

Final thought: all other things being equal, if I was a champion, and I got to pick my next fight, and my choices were a world champion grappler, a world champion kick boxer, and a world champion boxer, I'd pick the boxer.

There's always the chance it could happen. Pretty sure I read something about a mixed gender mma fight a while back.

Im not that great at grappling but when a 200lb+ new guy comes in, I can do basically anything I want to him. Im barely over 155.
Comparing men and women of the same size, men normally have about 40-50% more upper body strength and 20-30% more lower body strength. Combined average difference 30-40%.
Is a guy with 50lbs on me 30-40% stronger? I have no idea. I can curl 50lbs 1 time. So that would mean they would curl 65 to 70 lbs one time. That seems right but Im not a weight lifting guys so I dont know what a 200lb dude can normally curl 1 rep max.
