However, before taking on the Irishman, UFC President Dana White warned Mayweather about another mixed martial arts powerhouse, Ronda Rousey. According to White, the Olympic medalist would destroy the boxing legend in a fight.
He said, “Let’s put that in context. In a boxing match, Floyd [Mayweather] beats her all day long. In a street fight or in the octagon, she hurts him bad. She’s an Olympic medalist in Judo.” Additionally, White stated that she had been training Judo with men rather than women all her life, since there weren’t many American women training Judo at that time.
