VIDEO: Ronda Rousey could not resist a sly dig at Floyd Mayweather

The MMA star is out promoting her role in the Entourage movie

We’d fancy Ronda’s chances if the pair ever ended up in an octagon together.

The casting director of the Entourage movie earned their pay-cheque they minute they signed up Ronda Rousey for a cameo role.

The UFC Women’s bantamweight champion has a small role in the Kevin Dillon [as Johnny Drama is the main star] film and is currently on a promotional push.

During an interview with Access Hollywood, Rousey was asked if she thought she could beat unbeaten boxing world champion Floyd Mayweather in a bout, Rousey had a cutting response:

‘Well, I would never say that I can’t beat anyone, but I don’t think me and him would ever fight, unless we ended up dating.’

Mayweather, of course, pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanour battery domestic violence, in December 2011, of the mother of his three children.

Elsewhere in the interview with the ‘single, bad-ass bombshell’ [the words of Access Hollywood, not us], Rousey was asked about the type of guy that would take her fancy.

Rousey commented, ‘Everyone expects that I want these giant, burly guys, and that’s not really the case.’

Hope for about 94% of Ireland’s male population, so.
