Rousey: I’ll never fight a man
Ronda Rousey: “Fights are going to go both ways. You’re going to see both people hitting each other. I don’t think we should celebrate a man hitting a woman in any kind of setting.”
This past week Joe Rogan created quite a stir in the media and with fans when he said that he felt Ronda Rousey could beat half of the men’s bantamweight division. Rousey added to that fire in an interview yesterday saying in theory should could beat any man, but today explained in detail why that would never happen:
“It’s not a reality,” Rousey said. “They’re not gonna do anything like that. Fights are chaotic. Anything can happen. And there’s no setting in which we should condone a man hitting a woman.”
UFC president Dana White joked about Rousey fighting a man before and after Rousey’s 14-second destruction of Cat Zingano at UFC 184 on Saturday in Los Angeles. But that’s all it was — a joke.
Even if he were serious, Rousey (11-0) would absolutely not be down for it.
“I really just don’t think that any athletic commission on Earth would ever condone something like that,” Rousey said. “Fights are going to go both ways. You’re going to see both people hitting each other. I don’t think we should celebrate a man hitting a woman in any kind of setting.”
