Former world champion Laila Ali does not believe UFC superstar Ronda Rousey is capable of taking a big punch, after watching the MMA fighter get demolished in 48 seconds last month in Las Vegas.

Rousey, who was knocked out in December 2015 by former boxing champion Holy Holm, returned after taking a one-year layoff, and she was taken apart in less than a minute by UFC champion Amanda Nunes.

Most MMA fans are blaming Rousey's head trainer, claiming that he made her believe that she's a good boxer - which some saw as her downfall in both defeats.

A few years ago, a few words were being traded between Rousey and Ali - with Rousey believing that she could take Ali if they traded punches.

“If she wants to take me up on that, I’m around,” Rousey told The Daily Beast. “She’s retired and has several kids. I understand why she’d think that because she has a size advantage, but if you saw my last fight it had nothing to do with size or strength at all. That’s not how I beat people. So you can’t count having a size and strength advantage as having a real advantage against me.”

Ali thinks the game could be over for Rousey after watching her physical reactions to the punches of Nunes.

“I remember when they wanted to see us fight,” Laila told the Rich Eisen show “And now they want to see me train her. You can’t really train somebody’s chin to take a punch, but for the right amount of money, yeah we could probably make it happen.”

“I could get in the ring right now and I wouldn’t get beat like that. Even if you lose a fight in the end, I want to see you be able to take some punches, be in the fight, and maybe at a certain point you get tired or wear down because you have the ring rust.”
