UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey recently spoke with Spanish-language daily Hoy newspaper and said that, under the right circumstances, she believes that she could beat heavyweight king Cain Velasquez.

"In any given moment, under the right circumstance, I think it is possible," Rousey said of beating Velasquez when asked if she thought she could.

"You cannot tell me that it is physically impossible. It is possible that in any given moment that I could beat him. I simply believe in my possibilities."

The Olympic judo bronze medalist never seems to lack in confidence but her assertion that she could beat Velasquez despite giving up about a hundred pounds in weight, might seem over the top. Before you're quick to criticize "Rowdy" Ronda as delusional, however, remember that competitive fighting is necessarily an audacious practice.

In order to have a chance at successfully facing the tension of a fight, fighters need to believe in themselves to a ridiculous degree. In effect, all Rousey is saying is that, in a hypothetical situation where she had to fight Velasquez for some insane reason, she wouldn't just curl up and die - she'd fight on and believes that she'd find a way to win somehow.

You've gotta love that champion's attitude. Rousey, of course, next fights in the Octagon in December against rival Miesha Tate.

The two can be seen coaching opposite one another on The Ultimate Fighter season 18 which airs Wednesdays on Fox Sports Net 1.

Stay humble Rondah.

book it dana,

give the lady what she wants.

I dont even think she is the baddest woman in the world much less a mens heavyweight champion beater.

So she wont even go up to 145 to fight Cyborg yet she'll fight Cain?   

omg does she really think that for real?!?!?!?

She also thinks sandy hook was a conspiracy

If this was a true fight and Cain went 100% she would be dead before the end of the first round. I am an average dude and my wife is an average chick and I could probably kill her with my hands in under 5 minutes if I was correctly motivated. I know Ronda isnt an average chick but lets be honest Cain isnt an average man either.

Ronda would get owned by Demetrius Johnson

Ronda would lose to every male fighter in the UFC and Bellator.

Ronda would tap Joe Warren
