I’ve said for a few years that I thought Ronda Rousey could be a top 5 fighter in the UFC’s male bantamweight division but according to Rousey I sold her short.
“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.”
One thing Rousey doesn’t lack is confidence, and why should she? She just disposed of one of the best female fighters in the world in 16 seconds. She also trains and rolls with men all the time at her gym, so she would know exactly how she stacks up against a male her size.
Ronda went on to highlight some of the advantages she has over the men in the division.
“It’s not that they’re lacking anything so much,” Rousey said on SportsCenter. “They decided later in life that they wanted to be a fighter. A lot of these girls already developed a personality and had a life and one day they decided, ‘I’m gonna give it a try.’ Whereas, this is literally what I was raised to do.”
One thing we’ve learned is to never doubt Rousey when she puts her mind to something.
