Back in grade school we had this debate all day. Most fools thought Lee could beat Ali with martial arts. Until years later I found out Lee was 118 pounds when he filmed Enter the Dragon. Ali would be close to double Lee's weight. Similar outcome Lee/Rousey would get squashed by either larger foe.
Why are you comparing her to a heavyweight? Why not make it a fair battle of the sexes match how about Ronda Rousey against Brent Metcalf or Jordan Oliver that would be fair, I was going to say how about Ronda Rousey vs John Smith, but that is not fair as John Smith is about 50 years old, so I am sure Rousey would beat him, though I think if Smith was in his prime, when he won the 6 world titles and 2 Olympic golds in a row, he could have beaten her.
Umm... I didn't make the comparison. The OT did and I responded. I don't think Rousey could compete against 125lb men's champion Demetrious Johnson. He would light her with strikes. Her 135lb male counterpart champion TJ Dillashaw is a far better kickboxer, faster and stronger. Lesnar would wreck any of those fighters...
I don't follow MMA to closely but from what I have heard, the Rousey and Lesnar fight would be very close. Both are supremely skilled.
These "could Rousey win" threads are ridiculous. Like someone said if she is scared to fight a woman that weighs 15-20 lbs more than her then she would have no shot against a man.
Fite Nite- your reply was hilarious mentioning the silverback. I'm still laughing.
I guess this was answered last night.

This is me being silly, she could not beat smith, if smith was 70 years old, I was kidding to see if anyone would believe I was being serious lol.

No way does she win.
Brock would have to drop to 135 lbs to compete. That means he will have to pass away, then decompose for two weeks. Even then , the match would still probably go to the judges with Brock getting the decision on points.
She would wipe him out.
Oh yeah. With those unmatched striking skills, as on display last night? Brock is a goner.
I guess this thread has been revived, but anyway, this is a mismatch of epic proportions. Brock stomps. If this were ComicVine the thread would be locked.
Brock Lesnar is a former NCAA wrestling champion and UFC champion. It would be a five second massacre.
Thankfully, no woman will ever face him in the ring.
Now the courtroom is a different story. I don't like his chances there.

I appreciate your sense of deadpan humor. But seriously, can Shelly Ann beat Usain Bolt in a race of any distance? (This would require that Bolt actually gives a shit and doesn't start flirting with the female spectators when he gets bored after building a 200 meter lead at 400 meters.) Can Allyson Felix outrun Van Niekerk? Is Viv Cheryot faster than Mo Farah?
Fighting is only different in that the consequences would be much worse for the woman.
Rhonda couldn't defeat any ranked male UFC fighter at any weight class, including those smaller than her. They still would have immense advantages in strength and speed and would take her out easily.
0/10. Lesnar could let Rousey wale on him for two minutes and then proceed to knock her out with a single punch.
