Ian McCall hävdade nyligen att han inte tror att Ronda Rousey skulle kunna ta sig an någon manlig motståndare i varken bantamvikt eller flugviktsdivisionen och att han själv i judo gi skulle ta ner Rousey, utan några problem.
Det här berättade McCall, via ”MMAUnderground”:
I come from wrestling. Before there was a big female scene in wrestling, they would wrestle men. And it’s not going to happen. A good man will not lose to Ronda Rousey.
I could put a judo gi on, you’re an Olympian. You’re not throwing me. It’s not going to happen. I will throw you on your head. Pretty simple. And you weigh more than me.
I can’t compartmentalize it or whatever. It doesn’t make sense to me. I know it’s all talk. They compare her to Tyson. She’s dangerous, she’s good, I get it. But it’s just silly. And I can rant about it for a while, but I’m not going to.
Det här hade Brendan Schaub att säga om McCalls uttalande:
I like Ian. He’d be surprised.
If he put on a gi, Ronda would rag-doll him around the gym. He would be surprised. I’ve seen her rag-doll bigger, very skilled fighters. MMA, professional fighters. I’ve seen her destroy men. Fighters who were way bigger than him. She could definitely beat some of the 135ers in the UFC.
