Ronda Rousey is so dominant in women's UFC, that people have begun genuinely questioning if she could tackle the men's circuit.

Is that too crazy? After all, of Ronda Rousey's 11 MMA wins, 10 have come in the first round, eight in the first minute, four within 25 seconds and two within 16 seconds. Her UFC 184 opponent, Cat Zingano, was supposed to be Rousey's toughest task yet; she dispatched her in 14 seconds.
One famous fighter who doesn't think the 'could-Ronda-beat-the-boys' chatter is too ridiculous is the man she's most often compared to -- former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.
"Sh*t, Ronda Rousey might kick my ass," Tyson told HuffPost Live on Thursday. "She put in the work, too. She's putting these people to bed, she's tapping them out."

However, despite the praise from Iron Mike and other MMA pundits, Rousey says she has no plans to fight a man anytime soon. Why?
“I don’t think it’s a great idea to have a man hitting a woman on television,” said Rousey, via The Daily Beat. “I’ll never say that I’ll lose, but you could have a girl getting totally beat up on TV by a guy — which is a bad image to put across. With all the football [domestic violence] stuff that’s been happening, not a good idea. It’s fun to theorize about and talk about, but it’s something that’s much better in theory than fact.”
