In an MMA fight, would Ronda Rousey beat Floyd Mayweather?

Floyd is a BOXER w/ reflexes and quick twitch fibers that are in the top 1% of anyone in his sport. ****, I'd put his reflexes up there with anyone in any sport. It's no disrespect to other athletes...but he's ELITE at what he does.
 
look im not going to keep repeating myself.

i was under the impression that MMA was a substantively different sport that prioritized a different set of skills. that things like take down defense and wrestling defense matterd. That's what I was told, that's what I've read.

If it thats not true then I defer to mma fans expertise.


but these men vs women arguments are mostly just wrong.

this argument about reflexes also wrong.

I mean somone in this thread tried to tell me that steph curry could beat ronda in a fight, I find that to be insnae.

It's not that it's not "true", but certain fighters are just bad stylistic matchups for other fighters.

Takedown defense vs. a wrestler and takedown defense vs. a judoka are not the same.

And Ronda is not a wrestler.

If you were basing your argument on the most basic generalizations of MMA and Boxing, then it makes sense.

But if you look at the pros and cons of each fighter, this is a BAD fight for her.

because she competes in the sport doesnt mean I hafta believe she is very skilled at it, shes not.

steph is 6 foot 3 (ok 6 foot) and has ungodly hand eye coordination haha if you dont understand why a 5'5 135 lbs woman couldnt put him an armbar I dont know what to tell ya, other than your wrong.

theres this assumption if you dont know mma you cant have sucess at it period... at the end of the day theres weight classes/divisions for a reason and women dont fight men for a reasonnn. could you imagane rhonda vs mighty mouse? :x

I thnk you may be misrembering word to big Clemens. This 100% happened on This week in baseball like 10 years ago. Bonds wasn't swinging full on. He was just showing her that he can make contact with all of her pitches. Made her look dumb as hell

But another thing people fail to realize. There are plenty of MMA bouts that hardly go to the ground. They could just stand up the whole time because Floyd wants it that way. I mean boxing is part of MMA so just because it says, "an MMA fight" doesn't mean they are going to be doing Ju-Juitsu 100% of the bout.

I don't think it's that crazy to say that she would have a really good chance in a MMA match against Floyd. If it were boxing, no doubt she has 0%, but with Floyd having no experience in the octagon, I think she would have a shot.

I feel dumber for having read this thread.

It's an MMA fight.  Keyword: MMA

This woman's area of expertise vs. essentially a novice.

But somebody said it best, there's basically a bunch of casual viewers in here who only see "Floyd Mayweather vs a woman".

I love Floyd as much as anybody but this ain't boxing.

Soon as that first leg kick hits that lead leg.....

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh man :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Ronda's lucky Floyd doesn't want to take beginners Karate, or he'd MK legsweep the **** out of her
