Ronda Rousey is no stranger to talking the talk and walking the walk and it's very fitting that one of her biggest influences is the undefeated boxer, Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Ronda Rousey's love of the spotlight should come as no surprise after she told journalists that boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. is one of her biggest influences:

"He is someone I aspire to be very much like in a business sense," Ronda Rousey said at a Wednesday media session in Las Vegas. "I try to take every lesson that I can, and my coach definitely tries to throw some stylistic things my way that he also learned from him."

Just like her idol Floyd Mayweather Jr., Ronda Rousey claimed back in November 2013about potentially being able to beat the curret UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez in a fight:

"In any given moment, under the right circumstance, I think it is possible. You cannot tell me that it is physically impossible. It is possible that in any given moment that I could beat him. I simply believe in my possibilities."

While Rousey's persona has gained her as many fans as it has gained her haters, almost every MMA fan cares about her in one way or another. And that's very good in the fight business. Just ask Floyd Mayweather.

In her next fight she'll face off against fellow Olympic medalist Sara McMann this Saturday in the main event of UFC 170. For the first time in UFC history two former Olympians will face off in the Octagon at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, NV.
