UFC head honcho Dana White is big on Ronda Rousey, the mixed martial arts company's women's bantamweight champion. Recently he touched on the topic of how Rousey would do in a battle with the best boxer today, Floyd Mayweather.
"I didn't start the whole 'Ronda Rousey could beat Floyd Mayweather' thing. That didn't start with me. I just supported it and agreed 100 percent," White said in a video from MMA Junkie/USA Today. "You take a street fight, Ronda wins that fight and hurts him badly. You don an MMA fight, same result. Boxing match? Floyd Mayweather chews her up.
Mayweather spoke with a small group of media members on July 14, and when asked about another boxer as a potential opponent, he replied that "Everyone is trying to hit the lotto and fight Floyd Mayweather."
Another reporter saw an opening and decided to ask Mayweather: "What about Ronda Rousey?"
Also, back before Floyd Mayweather fought Marcos Maidana this past May, there had been a poll up on his website asking fans who they'd like to see him face — Maidana or Amir Khan.
Mayweather chose Maidana, won a decision and is fighting him again in a rematch this September. The pound-for-pound king spoke with a small group of reporters on July 14, and one reporter asked Mayweather would be facing Khan this fall instead had it not been for Khan saying he couldn't fight this September due to the fasting done for the holiday of Ramadan for several weeks during which a training camp would've been held.

A variation of the Air Jordan 11 Low, the 11 Low IE, is scheduled to return to retailers this Summer in a classic colorway which sneakerheads know as the 'Cobalt' or 'Zen Grey.'
The Cobalt kicks originally launched back in 1996 and were last retro'd in 2003. Designed similarly as the Air Jordan 11 Low, the IE kicks feature an elephant print leather overlay in place of the traditional patent leather with a cobalt blue jumpman on the tongue and translucent outsole beneath.
Troi Torain aka STAR is the most objective voice in media today and in 2011 he was inducted into News One's "Top 20 Best Black Radio Jockeys Of All Time." As an objectivist, Atheist and independent voter STAR is known to push the limits of religion, philosophy and rational thinking.
Acute observations between sexes, races and classes are at the fore of Star’s much-renowned drive and commentary. His “style of no style” makes him appear to be just like any man and yet like no other man that you know.
Torain made the national stage on MTV’s Beat Suite (1999) but it was his radio show (Star & Buc Wild) on New York's Hot 97 & Power 105 that secured his place in media history. STAR's resume also includes Atlantic Records, WEA, Virgin Records, Round The Globe Music, The Source magazine, Pulse 87, Power 99, Hip-Hop Weekly magazine, Vladtv, Thisis50.com, 100.3 The Beat, VH1 (The Gossip Game), Shot97.com and Stop The Police.
