Floyd Mayweather offers to help Ronda Rousey: ‘She needs a few time off’
The Glendale Fighting Club boxing coach helped guide Ronda Rousey to six UFC world title defenses before getting derailed by former boxing champion Holly Holm at UFC 193 over the weekend.
“I don’t think it’s cool how everyone is trolling her on social media”.
But does he have what it takes to study Holly Holm and give Ronda Rousey the correct equation to solve almost two decades of Mike Winkeljohn ingrained muscle memory?
Rousey has issued only an Instagram comment since her defeat, thanking fans for supporting her and saying, “I’ll be back”.
Even after losing at UFC 193 to Holly Holm, Ronda Rousey will remain on the cover for EA Sports’ “UFC 2”.
“You know, it’s insane, to get to where I got to, I didn’t have no sponsors”. Her career has taken a different direction.
Ronda Rousey is not as talkative after losing her UFC title to Holly Holm. I haven’t really spoke to anyone about the Ronda Rousey situation, just to set the record straight, Mashable quotes Mayweather.
Rapper 50 Cent was among those who took to Instagram to criticize Rousey with an edited photo of her in the arms of Rocky Balboa from a scene in the Rocky IV film.
BALCO founder Victor Conte, who was found to have provided illegal substances to athletes and was connected with baseball slugger Barry Bonds, said Holm’s relationship with Intel Pharma was concerning.
“I guess, supposedly, she asked for a picture with her sister or something, and I guess I said no?”
Then just a little after the second round got underway, Holm landed a high left kick to the neck area of Rousey, which knocked her to the floor.
Although it is doubtful Rousey would take up Mayweather’s offer, the idea of learning boxing from a fighter who finished his career 49-0 is definitely intriguing and could mark her return to her dominant form. “This fight wouldn’t have happened if she hadn’t accomplished what she’s accomplished, so I have a lot of respect for her”. “Just in boxing period, contact sports period, you win a few, you lose a few”, he said in a report from CBC Sports.
Holm would have become a statistic, regardless of her impressive array of strikes, had she not manoeuvered herself out of the firing line when the fighters briefly grappled – an interlude that Rosi Sexton, Britain’s first female UFC fighter, believes was crucial.
