<p>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:</p>
"(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."
So they'll make a catch weight fight for Ali ( there is No Way she makes 135 ) a fight nobidy gives a flying fuck about. Yet, the Cyborg fight is off the table over 5lbs? Fucking Monkey Logic.
Btw, Ronda in less than 30 seconds if this travesty ever took place.
Won't fight a legit contender, but will fight someone who proabaly hasn't trained in months after having a mic put in her face and was asked a hypothetical question.....makes sense. Just admit you're scared of Cyborg.

Obviously you don't understand what the words legitimate or contender mean.
LOL at Dana saying,"The champ doesn't chase other people." Apparently, this rule only applies to Cyborg. It's OK to chase old boxers like Ali and retired MMAers/actors like Carano haha. Contradictory statements like this from Dana, Ronda, and her mom are making Rousey look like a coward imo.
Laila is 185-190, but we know she wouldn't stand a chance which is of course why they are open to the fight...and not open to cyborg though for obvious murderous-beatdown reasons. So I have a solution, have her fight Gabi Garcia, she's training MMA now and is 190lbs..ronda would get wreck't sooo hard, lol.
Ridiculous proposition for a fight in the ufc. I can see why a would want to make it happen, just like CM punk fighting in the ufc. There is money to be had.
RKing85 - lol. Why wouldn't he be? It's a risk free fight for Ronda.
Agreed. That's the whole deal with not wanting Cyborg anywhere but 135 but being cool with Ali or Carano at heavier weights. It's all about risk, and a Cyborg at her normal fighting weight poses risks that these other women don't.
