As the UFC women's bantamweight champion, there's bound to be a target on Ronda Rousey's back. She's no stranger to getting called out, but now she's being challenged by a boxing legend.

Video surfaced of Ann Wolfe, one of the best female boxers ever, giving her opinion on Rousey, and she's not impressed. Wolfe took exception when asked about claims that Rousey knocked out former boxing champion Lucia Rijker in sparring.
"I ain't Lucia Rijker, I ain't none of them motherf-----s. I'm Anne Wolfe," she said. "I don't give a damn about her, I don't even want to talk about her. I have eight world titles in four different weight classes. G--damn Lucia Rijker is old enough to be my grandma!"

That last part isn't true, as Rijker is 46 years old and Wolfe is 43. While Wolfe doesn't plan on getting in the cage with Rousey anytime soon, she did throw her 23-year-old daughter Jennifer Fenn into the mix.
"My daughter weighs 135," Wolfe said. "Tell [Rousey] we'll go in a real, live, 100-percent boxing match. She's 9-0, ranked No. 1 in the nation. She'll whoop her motherf----n' ass."
Rousey doesn't yet have an opponent or a date for her next title defense and she's never been one to back down from a challenge, so it can be expected that "Rowdy" would be open to facing Fenn. It might be a farfetched idea, but it wouldn't be the first time that a UFC champion has entertained crossing over to boxing as Anderson Silva once expressed a desire to fight Roy Jones, Jr.
Should Rousey accept Wolfe's challenge? Let us know at @SportsWN and @doricsam83.
