Jim Ross Discusses His Love of Ronda Rousey, Compares Brock Lesnar to Muhammad Ali

– Jim Ross recently spoke about Ronda Rousey possibly appearing at WrestleMania 31 and more. Here are the highlights…

On Ronda Rousey: “She’s my favorite MMA fighter. She has legit star power and a great personality. She’s every promoter’s dream, whether it be pro wrestling, or Hollywood, or MMA, or whatever. She has looks, she has skill, she has intelligence. If I were WWE, if I could make this happen, she would definitely have a role at WrestleMania 31 to do something.”

On Similarities Between Muhammad Ali and Brock Lesnar: “There’s always going to be a segment of the MMA community that is going to cheer for Lesnar to lose, if and when he comes back for another run after his diverticulitis issues, but that’s the beauty of it,” said Ross. “Muhammad Ali told me one time, back in the 80’s, that he realized early in his career that he could make more money as a boxer, as a black man in a white man’s business as far as management and TV contracts, and distribution of PPV dollars, he said, ‘I realized my place as a fighter would be enhanced if I put myself in a position where the fans pay more money to see me lose than they would to see me win.’”
