Ronda Rousey Hosts Reddit AMA, Says She Can Beat Floyd Mayweather

Earlier today, MMA superstar and UFC Women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey held an 'ask me anything' session on popular online discussion site Reddit. One of the questions lobbed her way concerned her recent war of words with pound for pound boxing King Floyd Mayweather.

She said she respected Floyd as a boxer, but was confident she could take him in a no holds-barred fight:

"Do I think I would legit beat Mayweather in a ruleless fight? Floyd is one of the best boxers of all time. He would definitely beat me in a boxing match. I unfortunately don't get into "matches". I fight for a living. In a no rules fight, I believe I can beat anyone on this planet. Boxing is a sweet science with strict rules that I respect very much and aspire every day to improve at. But you said ruleless fight, and that's my honest answer."

Rousey also had some choice comments for Cris 'Cyborg' Justino, a possible challenger she may face after her third bout with Miesha Tate:

"Sincere opinion about Cyborg: she's just waiting to be offered enough money to get her ass kicked ('cuz she knowsshe'll get her ass kicked). I know for a fact she can make the weight. She consulted with Mike Dolce (my current nutritionist) before I ever started working with him and after consulting with her he said he could get her in "the best shape of her life" at 135. She then started being represented by Tito Ortiz and all talk stopped. The delay is all about money, not her weight. She made 145 pumped full of steroids. She can healthily make 135 without them." 

On a lighter note, Rousey also shared some random trivia about herself. She said her favorite movie is Leon: The Professional and that she once ate 60 chicken wings in one sitting.
