The controversy continues….After Joe Rogan and even Bruce Buffer gave a wild estimate that Ronda Rousey could defeat 50% of male UFC bantamweights, UFC flyweight (125 lb, 57 kg) Ian McCall reacted to Joe Rogan’s comments, in a new interview with Rick J Lee,
“They say all these comparisons to her fighting men. Even like Joe [Rogan]. I need to have a conversation with Joe about it because she’s not beating up a man. I’m sorry, it’s not going to happen.”
“A good man will not lose to Ronda Rousey. I could put a judo gi on, [she’s] an Olympian. You’re not throwing me. It’s not going to happen. I will throw you on your head. Pretty simple.”
Ronda Rousey said on ESPN’s SportsCenter on Thursday that she could defeat “100 percent” of UFC men’s bantamweights under the right circumstances:
“I never say that I’m incapable of beating anybody, because I don’t believe in putting limits on myself,” Rousey said. “So I mean, I would have to say if you’re just talking about what’s in the realm of possibility of what’s possible of who I could beat, well I could beat 100 percent of them. You can’t tell me that there’s a zero percent chance that I can beat anyone on the planet, so I’m never gonna say that.”
In the past Rousey has also said that she could probably beat UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez and world boxing champion Floyd Mayweather if she took him to the ground.
