Floyd Mayweather and Ronda Rousey have had their fair share of verbal sparring matches.

The mega-celebrity’s loss to Holm was a shock to many people who thought “Rowdy” Rousey was the most dominant figure in the sport. “I don’t have anything against MMA fighters”, Mayweather told FightHype.com. “I have always dreamed about being a world champion, and her loss to Holm opened a lot of doors for everyone in the division”. Former UFC champion Anderson Silva – who knows all too well what it’s like to be viewed as invincible – posted a few words of wisdom for Rousey. I’m so glad I made a statement and all the hard work paid off but there’s still compassion. “The rematch is what people want to see”.
The undefeated boxer went on to defend Rousey against Internet trolls. In fact, Mayweather came to Rousey’s defense as fans who reveled in her upset defeat went as far as to taunt her on social media and make crude GIFs and memes out of her fight.
The outlet explains that the reason why a Tate vs Holm might not happen at all is because of the fear that she might get into the ring and eliminate the new champion. It was boring to have her there because I know how fake she is, and know the UFC can show that there are many other great bantamweights in the roster, not only Ronda. She did. From what I remember seeing in the fight, I remember seeing Holly look like she got hurt a couple times in the fight by Ronda. This was already written. One would think the odds are against it but you never know. Ronda is, ‘I’m going to go out and f**king bang with you. That doesn’t mean that I haven’t took a loss before.

“I think people can be pretty brutal”, Holm told TMZ Sports. I’m not talking about boxing; I’m just talking about life. I’m going to try to throw you. Well, Electronic Arts spokesman Brad Hilderbrand put a quick end to that speculation, confirming on Monday (via ESPN) that Rousey will still grace the cover alongside a yet-to-be-announced male fighter.
