Could Rhonda Rousey win an Octagon match with Brock Lesnar?

If they both weighed 5 lbs, she would beat him easily. If they both weighed 2,000 lbs, she would beat him easily. If he was shrunk down to the size of a house cat, she would beat him easily. If she had a gun, she would beat him easily. If he lost his hands, feet, and eyes right before the fight, she would beat him easily. If she was a centaur queen and he was a baby deer, she would beat him easily. If she was a rock and he was scissors, she would beat him easily.

You guys are overestimating Brock and underestimating her. He has some losses. She has won convincingly every fight. Sure he has size advantage but much of his adult life spent playacting on WWE. He does not move very well. His agility is suspect. She is great at feinting. She pretends to throw a left hook and he puts up his guard and she then goes low for the takedown with her superior grappling skills. Please don't sell her short.

Lesnar was an NCAA D1 wrestling champion. The probability that she could take him down is approximately epsilon.

This question and the replies on this thread far surpass the stupidity of the "UFC Fight vs. Navy Seal" thread. Please, please, please tell me you're all trolling...

Brock Lesnar is 295 lb. Ronda Rousey is 135 lb. Think about that for a second before you idiots argue that she could control a nearly 300 lb man and submit him on the mat and all she would have to do is evade his strikes. He is more than double her weight, and basically all muscle.

Lesnar could have mono while severely weakened with the flu, dehydrated, drunk, and have a broken foot and still be able to destroy Rousey within seconds.

Correct answer.

What is up with you clowns falling for the media hype? Just watch the video that guy/gal posted. Evidence is clear there. She beats up other women (the scientifically proven inferior physical gender). Oh yeah she can beat up some guy at the bar, who cares? When it comes to really any guy with decent MMA experience, she would be gone. You have the arrogance to ask if she MIGHT be able to beat Brock? Do you think on your own ever? Dude you need to turn off ESPN and get your own opinions.

No. Never. Never. Never. Please don't post stuff this idiotic

Lesnar is not 295, he is only 265. Enough with stressing the weight differential. Could Lesnar beat a 550 pound Sumo wrestler. Sure he could! Royce Gracie beat much larger guys. I agree Lesnar would probably beat her but he is not infallible. She could take advantage of an opening and surprise everyone. You go girl!

Lesnar cut weight to hit the 265 lb. limit. And there is also a video floating around of Rhonda grappling with a 150lb. high school wrestler with no MMA training, and she was struggling.

Brock was the NCAA D1 Heavyweight wrestling champ, as well as the UFC Champ and rag dolled people when he first came to MMA

I don't know why I'm responding to all of the trolls.

She could armbar his %ick and break it off.

Am curious. Does UFC have a weight limit for heavyweight? Couldn't Lesnar have weighed 295 and still fought?

The UFC has a weight limit of 265lb for heavyweights at the weigh-in the day before the fight. Lesnar cut weight to achieve that since he is actually quite a bit larger than that. In his own words prior to his fight with Randy Couture he weighs around 285lb by the time of the fight. Otherwise he 'walks around' between 285-295. Rousey's armbar would be useless against Lesnar though the likelihood of her getting on him is about as close to 0% as you can get. I once saw Jon Jones power out of a very tight armbar by Vitor Belfort that Jones admitted caused nerve pain. Belfort is a Ju Jitsu blackbelt and much closer in size to Jones than Rousey would be to Lesnar. Point being Lesnar could easily power out of or powerbomb Rousey if in her armbar. And he was an NCAA wrestling champion, not just some big guy who can't grapple. He's also quite quick considering his size. This matchup would never be sanctioned because Rousey would be steamrolled and hospitalized.

Brock was a beast in college wrestling...dumb as a box of rocks, but a beast.

Too much is made of this. Granted he would won over someone 135 pounds, but he won NCAA due to being bigger than everyone else, not due to wrestling expertise.

Can a professional female athlete beat a professional male athlete in any physical sport, much less fighting? Imagine the best WNBA player vs. any NBA player 1-on-1? She'd get shut out. Do you think a female can play with the big boys in the NFL?

This is like arguing that Diababa could beat farah in a 1500 or 5000 sure Diababa is a freak. But she would look like a retard if she raced farah.

Look at the way that tranny is almost killing/crippling the females that he fights. That male is the same weight and weakened by female hormones and still women are no match for him. A female is built for having babies (full stop), males are built for power/killing, even if there female MMA fighter is taking Test and other drugs, any equally skilled male should destroy a female at any weight class.

Here is the thing, if it were that simple then every coach would just go after the biggest, strongest athlete and BAM!! Champion. He competed against other large, powerful athletes and went 106-5 and won a national title. If he did this with basically no skill then you would have to agree his size and strength are far greater than anything a 135lb woman could deal without. However, you cannot defeat large, technically skilled grapplers without knowing a few things yourself. He beat former Olympic alternate Randy Couture for the UFC title. Before you try to tell me Couture was old and small I will point out he beat a 6'7" 260lb man for the title and defended it against a 250lb BJJ black belt before losing to Lesnar. Lesnar also destroyed BJJ black belt, skilled Muay Thai fighter and mma veteran Frank Mir in a title defense. I say you are making too little of Lesnar's wrestling ability and might not really have a clue what you are talking about.

Perhaps Brock would be too massive for her to take down. Maybe she could eat Jon Jones with her great judo skills. She did win an Olympic medal after all.

*a 135lb woman could deal with.*

Jon Jones would massacre Rousey as well. And I'll point out again it was Jones who escaped an armbar from a BJJ black belt in Belfort, who can do just about anything better Rousey and is much stronger AND faster than Rousey.
