Rousey's response to Laila Ali: 'If she wants to take me up on that, I'm around'

In a mostly lighthearted and non-provocative exchange with a TMZ reporter recently, former super middleweight and light heavyweight women's boxing world champ Laila Ali couldn't resist declaring her superiority over all female fighters, including UFC bantamweight assassin Ronda Rousey.

"No woman can beat me, period," Ali declared, adding, "She's too much smaller than me, anyway. She's like the size of my daughter -- my 3-year-old."

Rousey's last fight, a title defense at UFC 184 two weeks ago, was shorter than a 3-year-old's attention span as Rousey submitted Cat Zingano with an arm bar in just 14 seconds.

Ali already made it clear that she's retired and not interested in fighting anyone, that she was simply "saying, with humor, she's in a different weight class."
