Conor McGregor isn’t scared of any UFC fighters — except Ronda Rousey

If interim UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor has ever been scared of any man he’s fought in the Octagon, he sure hasn’t shown it. But when it comes to the hypothetical of ever getting into the ring with UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, McGregor sounds uncharacteristically frightened.

“I certainly would not like to end up in a tie-up with Ms. Rousey. I remember one time when I seen her and greeted her and said, ‘What’s up, champ,’ and we embraced,” McGregor told SI Now. “I swear on my life her back muscles were the most solidest back muscles I’ve ever felt in my life. I thought if this lady was to get a hold of me, she would throw me on my head in literally one second flat.

Rowdy Ronda has the most stone cold game face I have ever seen on anyone.

She is not intimidated by anyone at all.

The weigh in stand off between her and her opponent was hilarious.

Ronda just stone face stared her down, and her opponent just started rambling on about whatever the heck she was saying.

I’m a huge fan of Ronda, love her to death bad attitude and all, I am confident that she wins tomorrow.

Baddest woman on the planet.

100% Pure red blooded American bada$$!

I hope she kicks the crap out of that girl tomorrow.

Not hard on the eyes either.

Thread useless without Pics.

I like Rousey but this stuff about her versus men is ridiculous and unnecessary.

I don’t doubt that she could either. I know she could beat me, easily. Plus she already beat up two guys outside a bar or something like that a while back when they tried to do something that she didn’t like apparently.

As far as seeing her fight a guy in MMA, that is not something I’m interested in seeing. Whether she could win or not is not the point, it’s just something that I’d rather not see.

She is without a doubt the baddest as* woman I have ever seen in my life though.

She’s very good at what she does, but she would not have a chance against most any able-bodied man. The difference in strength, reach, etc., is just too great.

I object to it because it gives women a false sense of security that they can really only have by being adequately armed. The average adult male has as much muscle tissue in his two quadriceps as the average adult female has in her entire body.

In the movies, girls kick men's asses in life-and-death situations all the time. In the real world there is a name for girls who try to do that: they are known as "decedents."

I'm sure Rousey can beat up a lot of ordinary guys walking around on the street; she is a professional fighter in great condition, after all. But the idea that she would last more than about thirty seconds with a male UFC fighter in her class is absurd.

Ronda has the scariest mean face I’ve ever seen. If I were her opponent I would tap out during the stare down.

I would like to see her fight Gina Carano.

If she ever fights Mike Tyson, I like Mike.

Yes exactly. She could kick my ass, but a male fighter who’s worth half a damn? She wouldn’t have a prayer of making it of the first round.

So silly of them to bring it up all the time. I have no trouble respecting her as the best female fighter without buying into the notion she could hold her own against men.

Gina had Cyborg down first, but did not finish her off. Gina is too laid back for that sport, and she is in movies, too. She would probably rather not get messed up in fight, and get paid on Screen like the Rock.

Gina Carano is the daughter of Dallas Cowboy Quarterback Glenn Carano.
