MMA veteran says he'll beat Ronda Rousey and then she'll 'make him a sandwich'

Tank Abbot also offered to fight any woman in the world.

FORMER UFC FIGHTER and professional wrestler David ‘Tank’ Abbot has said he could easily “bash” UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey because “she’s a girl.”

While Abbot is factually correct about Rousey’s sex, his problem with women MMA fighters appears to run deeper than just the undefeated 28-year old.

Speaking on The Proving Ground podcast this week, Abbott — who appeared on the TV show Friends as the UFC fighter who beat up Monica’s then boyfriend Peter Becker — weighed in on a potential fight between Rousey and Floyd Mayweather saying:

“[He'd] knock the living stuffing out of Rousey.

“She’s a girl. It’s all about emotional stuff. I don’t care, I will fight any woman on this earth for free, I won’t even train.

“I will fight you and if I win, which is going to happen, and you’re going to get bashed up good, you have to make me a sandwich.

“If you win, I’ll give you $100,000.”

This fighter thanked his wife ‘and girlfriend’ after a win, but HE CAN EXPLAIN
