Let's face it, Ronda Rousey is the biggest name in Mixed Martial Arts. Last Saturday night, the UFC bantamweight champion disposed of Cat Zingano in only 14 seconds to improve her record to 11-0. Instead of trying to figure out which female challenger should be next in line to get a shot at her belt, here are five male athletes that I would like to see Rousey step into the Octagon with.

    Johnny Manziel

    Ray Rice

    This is a dream matchup strictly because millions of men and women would pay good money to see what would happen to one of the most hated men in pro football if he was all alone in the octagon with the toughest female in pro sports.

    Floyd Mayweather

    The Money Man is preparing to add at least another $120 million into his wallet when he meets Manny Pacquiao on May 2nd in Las Vegas in the richest fight in boxing history.
