Asked on Twitter “how long would you last in the ring with Ronda Rousey?”, James replied, “As long as she wanted me to last”. Both are confident that they will beat the other and seal a victory.

“She doesn’t want me to”, Rousey said. In my opinion, Ronda has faced fighters more complete than she herself is. In the advert, the UFC bantamweight champion holds nothing back as she lets a heavy bag have it. “She chewed me out”.
Dana White, UFC’s president, marvels at how Rousey has risen to every occasion. “I think that has helped her win, too“. “So she is running her side of the game”. Willingly extend the fight, if you will. Earlier this year, Correia made a tasteless remark pertaining to suicide and Rousey took it personally.
The 28-year-old, who is undefeated in 11 fights, is due to star alongside A-list actor Mark Wahlberg in the movie.
The Notorious went on to say he believes that Rousey is the reason women’s MMA gained popularity so quickly – calling the women’s bantamweight champ an “absolute animal” and a “special individual”. Northerner Bethe Correia arrives in Rio for her title shot and Los Angeles transplant Shogun Rua returns to his home country for a light heavyweight rematch. “She is unbelievable…she has created the Women’s game”.
The champion apparently doesn’t lack for fans in South America, either.
Never helped us on the basketball courts. “She’s the iconic face of the sport”.
“I certainly would not like to end up in a tie-up with Miss Rousey!”
During Wednesday’s open workouts, Rousey received a reception that far outstripped that of Correia’s.
That, however, does not bother the Brazilian fighter who will be entering the fight one year after undergoing eye surgery, which saw her sidelined for some time.
And, while training, Rousey has landed what White said were three more “massive” sponsorship deals.

‘It got very personal between me and this girl like Rocky and Apollo and Ivan Drago, so I’m going to beat her in her own country, ‘ Rousey added.
