re: Average man vs. Ronda Rousey

quote:

have friends that think they can beat Rhonda in a fight just because they are males. Would a guy with an average build (say, 5'9", 175lbs)with minimal fighting experience stand a chance against Rhonda?

Your friends are blithering idiots. Rousey is a supremely conditioned combat sport athlete with extensive training and experience in competitive fighting.

Yes, she would get her clock cleaned with any comparable (and, typically, even significantly smaller) male combat sport athletes. Yes, she would have trouble with an amateur (who otherwise kind of knows what he is doing) male who is fit, strong and on the largish size, say over 6'1" and over 220 pounds, just because of gross mass, strength/weight ratio, etc.

Having said all of that, she would seriously kick the shite out of you and any of your friends in the 5'9", 175 pound range.

Probably 3 or 4 at once, truth be known.
