Rousey is the UFC women's undefeated bantamweight champion, and the undisputed top pound-for-pound women's fighter on the planet. When she was last seen in the Octagon during February 28's UFC 184, she conquered Cat Zingano via submission in just 14 seconds.
Ali, however, is also an undefeated world champ. When she retired from professional boxing, Ali was 24-0, with 21 of those wins coming via knockout. Ali was asked by reps from TMZ Sports if she thought she has what it takes to beat Rousey. Her response was defiant and provocative.
"No woman can beat me, period," she said.

"Let's b clear...I'm retired & not interested in fighting anyone. When asked questions, I just answer them honestly," Ali said.
