Floyd Mayweather Jr. seems focused on his upcoming fight with Marcos "El Chino" Maidana, but he might want to keep his eyes trained on the ground-UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey might be "monkey crawling" his way.
Ronda Rousey idolizes Floyd's business sense, could defeat Cain Velasquez?
"I would drop down to the ground and crawl over to him as fast as I can and then I'd grab him by the legs," Rousey said. "I wouldn't even stand up. I wouldn't even be anywhere near him." Once she had Mayweather on the ground, she believes she'd have her way with the pound-for-pound boxing champ.
"I spend a lot of time there and I doubt that he does," she said.
Rousey is listed at five feet, seven inches and 135 lbs. on UFC.com, so weight-wise she isn't extremely far off from the welterweight limit where Mayweather has reigned for much of his career. She's also publicly stated it wouldn't be impossible for her to defeat UFC heavyweight champ Cain Velasquez, so she certainly doesn't lack for confidence.
Will Rousey face Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino?
"In any given moment, under the right circumstance, I think it is possible. You cannot tell me that it is physically impossible. It is possible that in any given moment that I could beat him. I simply believe in my possibilities," Rousey said.
Her comments about Floyd were good-natured though, as she has also mentioned him as an inspiration for the direction she wants to take in her career outside the octagon. "He is someone I aspire to be very much like in a business sense," Rousey said. "I try to take every lesson that I can, and my coach definitely tries to throw some stylistic things my way that he also learned from him."
She's slated to appear in two upcoming movies, Fast & Furious 7 and The Expendables 3, but is no slouch in the cage either. She's 9-0-0 in her career with eight victories via armbar. Her last bout ended with her first career knockout when she took care of Sara McMann in under one round earlier this month.
