During her television guesting on popular variety show Ellen, UFC champion Ronda Rousey showed how she will deal with undefeated American boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the MMA fighter showed viewers that she will perform a routine she usually does at the Glendale gym when she manhandles male sparring partners.
Host Ellen DeGeneres volunteered the show's executive producer Andy Lassner as Rousey's training partner for her to be able to show her moves and combinations.
The producer pushed Rousey to instigate the fight, but Rousey immediately rolled him and tried to use her armbar move on him.
She also instructed Lassner to not get up yet as she was just performing the armbar. This prompted Ellen to ask her producer is he was OK.
"How's that feel?" the host asked.
Rousey was the one who answered the query. "It's fine. I'm fine. Oh, were you asking him?"
Los Angeles Times said Rousey then pressed his leg on Lassner's face, applied the move then threw him.
Now, Mayweather has an idea of what is waiting for him if he agrees to fight with Rousey in a match with no rules.
During the same episode, ESPN said that the MMA fighter also claimed that she is the highest paid in the UFC noting that it was "pretty cool" and "fun to say" but failed to provide specifics.
MMA Junkie said Rousey could be referring to her fight purse and also includes sponsorships, pay-per-view revenue and other resources.
During her 14-second victory against Cat Zingano at UFC 184, Rousey reportedly earn $130,000, which is seen to be smaller than what other fighters like Jake Ellenberger receive.
But Ellen did not question her pronouncement. They just went on discussing how emotional Rousey can get during fight week.
"I'm the biggest crier; especially like fight week when I'm about to fight, I'm the most emotional," Rousey was quoted was saying in the MMA Junkie report.
She added that she wept a day before she fought Brazilian fighter Bethe Correia, whom she defeated in just 34 seconds.
"You're so amped up and it's like every emotion that you could possibly have it happens during that week. It's like the most stress, most anxiety, most pressure possible and then it's the happiest you could possibly be. It's all these things and it's just sometimes you can't hold it in. It's gotta leak out of somewhere why not your eyes?" she added.
Aside from this recent television appearance, Rousey is also believed to be the star of MGM's remake of the 1989 hit film "Road House" where she will play the role of Dalton, who was previously portrayed by Patrick Swayze.
