MANILA, Philippines—Ronda Rousey has so far beaten every capable fighter in the women’s division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and there seems to be no one left to fight.
Well for gambling site Bovada thinks Rousey can take on the guys.
In a report from ESPN, the betting site set a 25-1 odds on Rousey to fight a male opponent by the end of 2016.
UFC President Dana White previously joked that Rousey could fight the men of UFC.
“Yeah, we’re going to move her to the men’s division, and see if the odds.. I don’t know what to do with this lady,” White once said in a press conference.
UFC announcer Joe Rogan also once said that she could beat half of the male bantamweights in UFC’s stable of talents.
“If you took the roster of the UFC’s bantamweights, 135 pounds, and you paired them up against Ronda Rousey, she might be able to beat 50 percent of them. That’s not a joke,” Rogan said in an interview on the Dan Lebatard show.
Just how dominant Rousey is? Well, she only fought for 30 seconds combined in her last two fights.
