UFC's Dana White Says Ronda Rousey Would 'Rag Doll' Floyd Mayweather

UFC president Dana White has claimed that Floyd Mayweather would become Ronda Rousey’s “rag doll” if the two fighters ever got into a real brawl. White made his comments hours before Rousey received the ESPY Award for Best Fighter, winning over co-nominee Mayweather.

The 45-year-old White insisted that any fight between the UFC women’s champion and the undefeated future hall of fame boxer would be a no-contest. White said in an interview with TMZ that Rousey would overpower the “Money.” White also added UFC champ Conor McGregor would “obliterate” Mayweather as noted by TMZ.com.

“Floyd Mayweather throws his hands. Ronda would grab onto him and rag doll him,” White said.

MMA coach Brian Michelino is confident that the 28-year-old Rousey would “mess” Mayweather up in a mixed martial arts fight. While the boxing champ possesses power and boasts an indisputable advantage from the waist up being slightly taller and heavier, Rousey has the experience in bouts that incorporates kicking and grappling techniques. Michelino added that even if Mayweather had “a year” to train in martial arts, he would not fare against Rousey’s expertise.

“Rousey is pretty proficient in boxing. When you start adding in punches, kicks, and takedowns, a lot of techniques in boxing lose their power,” Michelino said according to the reports of Business Insider.

However, American boxer Sonya Lamonakis, who is one of the top heavyweight female boxers in the world, thinks it is “a joke” if Rousey would manhandle Mayweather. The women’s heavyweight division rank no. 3 said that Mayweather would knock the female champ in “three seconds.”

Rousey slammed Mayweather during the ESPY Awards in Las Vegas. After receiving the award for Best Fighter, the most dangerous unarmed woman in the planet called out “Pretty Boy” saying how boxer would feel being “beaten by a woman for once.” In the reports of Realtytoday.com, Mayweather was expected to get the award after appearing victorious in a mega-fight against Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao last May.

Rousey will face Beth Correia at UFC 190 in Rio De Janeiro on August 1 and vowed to beat the trash-talking Brazilian "the most devastatingly embarrassing way possible."
