Have you ever wrestled?Floyd can dodge punches from inches away from the best boxers in the world. You honestly think he won't see a kick coming? Unreal.how fast is Floyd going to be when this chick kicks his thighs until he's bruised and can't run around any longer?
When you say a lot stronger, are we talking professional football player stronger than a 135 lb woman? I am not downplaying the MMA skills and power that she has, but I am talking taking someone in football shape who should be able to break her grip easily.
Do you even need to watch MMA? Have people never seen a fight in person in college or a bar or something? There are cutoff points in some aspects I suppose, but skill trumps everything else.
Not sure what my experience in wrestling has to do with Floyd seeing a kick coming from a mile away, but yes I have. Why?Have you ever wrestled?Floyd can dodge punches from inches away from the best boxers in the world. You honestly think he won't see a kick coming? Unreal.
Flabby Russian dude looked like a trained MMA fighter to me. Not sure if that was much of an upset.Sinn Fein said:
Although I do wonder if a defensive lineman's ability to break contact would help. Most likely just help avoid the lock to begin with.
Why wouldn't she be able to take him down?I assume the Floyd argument is fishing. Taking a bite, how does she beat possibly the fastest and best defensive boxer ever (last I checked this is a professional fighter)?
She takes him down
She stands there and spars with him
Either you're seriously over-estimating Ronda or seriously under-estimating Floyd.
She's not sparring. Nobody is suggesting that.I assume the Floyd argument is fishing. Taking a bite, how does she beat possibly the fastest and best defensive boxer ever (last I checked this is a professional fighter)?

Because she would eat about 34 punches from Floyd before she even knew she was in a fight.Why wouldn't she be able to take him down?I assume the Floyd argument is fishing.

I don't think anybody could be characterized that way.
Because any decent wrestler knows to watch their opponents hips, not their upper body...where their hips go is where their body goes. Not saying she could win, but Floyd only has to watch for punches...He's not trained for grappling.Not sure what my experience in wrestling has to do with Floyd seeing a kick coming from a mile away, but yes I have.

It would help, sure. Could probably defend a sub or two with pure strength. But as he's defending one thing, she's getting ready to switch to something else and technique would win in end.
One of my groomsmen from my wedding is a pro fighter. He also runs/owns an MMA gym. Participated many times. I'm 6'2 220-230, my boy is 5'10 155. He owns me in 10 seconds flat. He'd also kill Ronda.Some of the comparisons here are ####### silly. This is a Dana White marketing ploy and it is genius bc some people are biting so hard. Put her in a match for $100k against any male pro fighter and she would get killed. I'd bet the under on 30 seconds.

I have nothing left to add. I've said my piece. We are all arguing something stupid that will never happen. It's like the Dream Team vs Players nowadays. We will never know.

I don't watch MMA because the BJJ crowd ruined the sport by turning it into a grapple and choke fest and ruined the watchability IMO. I am honestly curious if someone with vastly superior strength would be able to break holds, at least on the upper body. I am not downplaying her skill, but I have to imagine that the NFL linebacker could overpower his way out.
Sometimes you just have to bear hug a ##### and fall down.
I disagree with this, but ok.

Watch some of the first few UFC when there were no weight classes. Gracie crushed those guys and never once did he have a size or strength advantage. Plenty of times he was giving up 100+ lbs. He won because of technique and his opponents having no clue how to defend what he was doing. Same thing as Rousey vs <insert untrained guy>.
She's undeniably a better and far more accomplished combat athlete. Royce was fighting dudes who never heard of BJJ.
at comparing the nba and nfl. Guess Jeter could take her too?
