People aren’t exactly lining up to get in the Octagon with Ronda Rousey, but a Houston Texans cheerleader said she wouldn’t be afraid to square off with the UFC bantamweight champ.
Antonieta Osuna wasn’t always a cheerleader. The 28-year-old only has been with the Texans for one season after a pretty successful amateur boxing career in which she became a Texas state champion in 2005. And she recently told TMZ Sports that she’s dying to get in the ring with Rousey or even former boxer Laila Ali.
Still, Osuna made it clear that just because she wants to take a shot at Rousey or Ali doesn’t mean that she believes she can take down the professionals.
“I never said that I could beat either of them in a fight, but I wouldn’t be scared to get in the ring or set foot in the ring with either one of them,” Osuna told TMZ.
So, does Osuna believe she stands a chance against Rousey?
“I recently sparred against the No. 2-ranked Olympian boxer … and did pretty well,” she told TMZ.
She also added: “If I can give (Rousey) hooks and jabs and prevent her from taking me down … it’s possible that I could get her.”
