“That’s the Bottomline”: $80 Million Worth Hollywood Star, Who Impressed Fans With Boxing, Admits Being Scared of Ronda Rousey

Ronda Rousey is one of the biggest names in UFC and WWE alike. WWE fans who have seen her on UFC would understand how lethal she can be in the ring with her explosive power and punches. In 2014, Rousey defended her UFC Bantamweight title against Alexis Davis by KOing her in just 16 seconds!

Once, talk-show host Conan O’Brien asked Hollywood actor Jake Gyllenhaal if he could face Ronda Rousey in a ring. O’Brien asked the actor how long he thinks he could last inside the ring with Rousey, and the actor’s reply was hilarious.

Ronda Rousey Vs Jake Gyllenhaal, who would win?

We all saw Jake Gyllenhaal’s physique in southpaw, and he was ripped. The Nightcrawler actor played a professional boxer in the film Southpaw. Gyllenhaal not only got in shape for the film, but he also had to train like a boxer in order to execute the role properly. The actor had featured on ‘The Conan Show’ where the host, Conan O’Brien, asked him some tricky questions!

Even though Gyllenhaal had trained and learnt boxing for the film, the actor agreed he would not last long at all in the ring with Ronda Rousey! “That’s it. It’s done. It’s over,” is all the actor said.

While Gyllenhaal may not be as good a fighter as Rousey, the actor worked hard to get in shape for the film Southpaw.

“You transform yourself for every film you do. You’re a great actor, but you also change your body. When you did southpaw, we have a picture of you from that movie. You got in sick shape, insane shape — unless that’s a prosthetic chest. In which case I want to know where I can purchase one.” Joked O’Brien.

The actor replied, “Yeah, no, that’s not my body — but thank you, I really appreciate it. I mean, I learned how to box for the movie that’s what happens when you learn how to box you get in really good shape. You get in crazy shape.”

Moreover, Gyllenhaal is going to appear in a remake of the 80s classic ‘Roadhouse’. The film was earlier set to feature Ronda Rousey, but the original plan got cancelled. What are your thoughts on this change of plan?
