Last week, another character arises in the scene of MMA as Laila Ali said she could dethrone the current UFC Bantamweight Champion, Ronda Rousey.
Undefeated Rousey, according to Yahoo Sports, adds another potential challenger under her belt. Although many have tried to snatch her title, nobody was able to make it.
With this next fight, many are asking if she could retain what she have or will she give it up for the former female professional boxer and the daughter of the boxing legend Muhammad Ali.
Ali, who has an excellent boxing record of 24 wins with no loss, confidently states that she can handle Rousey in a fight. One of the reported reasons why Ali is now eager to be back in the Octagon is because of the training that the former light heavyweight and heavyweight UFC champion Randy Couture she underwent.
Couture said to an interview that Ali does not need a boxing coach, she needs a wrestling coach. The former hall of famer believes that Rousey will not box with her, she will put Ali to the ground and do what she does to everyone she has defeated.
Couture added that Ali is an amazing athlete. She could see the ability of the boxer and the intensity she is willing to give to the game. She only needs to learn more about the grappling and the wrestling, Couture pointed out.
Many people are now questioning who would really be the next Rousey's rival. With so many speculations, Rousey is focusing on who would be the real opponents, according to TMZ Sports.
