Ronda Rousey       ROUSEY said Mayweather would beat her in a boxing match, but she’d
says she           beat him in a ruleless fight
                   Ronda Rousey didn’t let up on her feud with Floyd Mayweather during a
COULD BEAT         Reddit Ask Me Anything session on Monday.

Mayweather         During the AMA, a fan asked Rousey, the UFC female bantamweight
                   champion, if she thinks she could beat Mayweather, the pound-for-
in no rules fight  pound boxing champion, in a “rule-less” fight. Rousey responded, “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 has been verbally sparring with Mayweather since he claimed in
                   a 2014 interview not to know who she was.
