Ronda Rousey Says Female Fighters Are More Dangerous Than Male Fighters

In an interview with The LA Times, UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey said she feels female fighters are eve more dangerous than male fighters.

“A lot of these girls, since they’re not very structured, they’ll do reactions that don’t make sense. Sometimes it makes it a lot more difficult,” said Rousey. “A lot of these women fighters are a lot more dangerous than the guys. They’re less structured because they’re newer in the sport. They throw things out of nowhere.

“It’s hard to describe the way I’m thinking. I have this action and so many reactions that can come from that. They pick one and I have so many answers. I have an answer to this one and there’s so many reactions to that answer. I know the reactions that make sense and I’m prepared for the ones that don’t.”

Rousey is set to fight Holly Holm at UFC 193 on Saturday in Melbourne, Australia.
