NBA superstar LeBron James is one of the most dominant players to ever play the game of basketball. He was way too quick for someone of his size. This helped James to play almost any position in the game, from 1 to 5. When he came to the league straight from high school, he didn?t look like a boy among men. His size, coupled with speed and athleticism, was unheard of.

Despite his physical attributes and abilities, LeBron once revealed that he was scared to speak to UFC legend Ronda Rousey. In 2015, during a Q&A through his Twitter account, LeBron was asked how long he will last if he faces Rousey inside the Octagon. The superstar said that it depends on how long Rousey wants the showdown to last.

He then said that he wanted to introduce himself to her during the ESPYs but decided against it. James said, ?I wanted to introduce myself to her at the ESPYs but didn’t want her to kick my b**t.? We understand you, LeBron James, we would be terrified too.

Ronda Rousey?s career

Ronda Rousey won the ‘Best Fighter’ and ‘Best Female Athlete’ awards during the ESPYs James was referring to. After winning the Bronze medal in the 2008 Summer Olympics, she began her career in MMA. Rousey was very successful in MMA and has an impressive record of 14-2.

But things were only starting for the superstar. She became the first female fighter to sign with the UFC in 2012. Rousey was also the first UFC Women?s Bantamweight Champion. She then went on an undefeated streak of 6 fights. Winning 3 by knockout and 3 by submission.?
