We don’t anticipate we’ll see Laila Ali come out of retirement to give mixed martial arts a go but can’t help but wish we could see this fight.
Ali was a professional boxer who went 24-0 in the ring during an eight-year fight career and she’s more than a tad confident in her abilities to see off the reigning UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.
Speaking to TMZ, the daughter of the greatest fighter ever to wrap his hands said: “No woman can beat me, period.”
The 37-year-old pointed to the size advantage as way of explaining her superiority over Rousey as she is 10 inches taller than the armbar specialist.
“She’s like the size of my daughter … my 3-year-old.”
