White open to Laila Ali vs. Ronda Rousey
Dana Whtie: “Laila Ali would be in big trouble against Ronda Rousey. Laila, if you’re serious, call me. If she wants it, she’ll get it. Call me.”
It all started when Laila Ali said in an interview with TMZ that she would beat Ronda Rousey. Of course Rousey responded that she would be happy to beat up Ali, and how UFC President Dana White has chimed in:
“(Rousey) is actually the best fighter in the world,” White told TMZ. “Laila Ali would be in big trouble against Ronda Rousey. Laila, if you’re serious, call me. If she wants it, she’ll get it. Call me.”
Ali may have been the best women’s boxer the sport had ever seen, but White said she doesn’t stand a chance in an actual fight with Rousey.
If Ali wants the fight, White is willing to make it, although he doubts she would like the result.
“No disrespect to Laila, but she would be in the 14-second range,” White said, referencing the time it took Rousey to walk through her last opponent in the UFC. “I’m serious if she’s serious.”
