For those of you who don’t know, when Rousey was still at the top of the MMA mountain she had a bit of a rivalry with female boxing legend Laila Ali. Ali was asked in an interview with TMZ if she thinks Rousey can take her. Ali responded by saying “No woman can beat me, period.” Rousey then fired back by saying all she needed was some time to train and she was confident she could give Ali a good fight.
Now, just three years later, the hostility seems to have worn off as TMZ recently asked Ali about Rousey’s move to WWE. Ali said she’s happy for Rousey and wishes her ‘nothing but the best’ in her professional wrestling career:
“I think it’s cool,” Ali said. “I mean, she retired right? She might as well move on and make it happen. I wish her all the best.”
She was then asked if she believes Rousey is a good fit for WWE. Here’s her response:
“She can wrestle?,” Ali asked. “I wish her all the best.”
