UFC News & Notes: Ronda Rousey's 'Dream Match' Is Against Jon Jones
UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey has been tagged the world's best pound for pound fighter and with good reason. The former Olympian has been undefeated in all of her matches. A recent Q & A session has revealed the fighter's fantasy match-up and it involves a male opponent.
The 28-year-old fighter has knocked down her last two opponents in an average of 15 seconds. She is set to fight Bethe Correia in UFC 190 on August 1, and fans are looking forward to see her prowess and quickness in the octagon once again.
But aside from her upcoming match, some followers of the judo black belt holder were keen to know who her dream match-up would be. Rousey was a guest at a live Q&A portion hosted by Wall Street Journal at WSJ Café when she was asked the question.
"Dream world like skills-wise or annoying me-wise," clarified the fighter.
Rousey then continued to explain her fantasy match-up.
"Does size count? Could we go just for from anybody's skills? Like dream match. Skills-wise, I would love to see where I would go with [former light heavyweight champion] Jon Jones because he's the one most able to improvise within a match, which is something I really pride myself on. I think we'd do some crazy ninja stuff," revealed the UFC champion.
On the other hand, Rousey said that another fantasy match-up would be against her rival Meisha Tate's boyfriend, Bryan Caraway, as the fighter is "really annoying."
"It would be fun to beat him up, but plenty of other people have gotten that pleasure before me, apparently," added the judoka.
It is interesting to know that Rousey would want to fight Jones. In a recent post by Sports Illustrated, the 28-year-old was crowned the No. 1 pound for pound fighter, replacing Jones.
The 27-year-old UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Jones, was arrested recently for felony charges after allegedly fleeing the scene of a hit-and-run accident. He has been out on bail and is awaiting charges.
The case against Jones resulted to UFC suspending him indefinitely. He was disqualified for the Sports Illustrated rankings, thereby putting Rousey on the top spot.
The "Fast and the Furious 7" actress told Jon Frankel in an episode of HBO's "Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel" that she prefers getting called "Best Fighter" than "Sexiest Woman Alive."
"If I was voted 'The Sexiest Woman Alive,' it wouldn't make me nearly as happy. There's a 'Sexiest Woman Alive' every year. It's once in a blue moon that you see a woman at the top of the pound-for-pound list," said Rousey.
