Lucia Rijker would still beat Rousey. She "worked" with Rousey(video)

She even states that there were moments where she asked herself "could I."

I say yes.

In addition to kickboxing and boxing, she has a blue belt in Japanese jiu jitsu

All around awesome!

too bad wmma wasn't as big 10 years ago. i reckon she would have gotten the exposure and respect she deserves in today's world

 

Is she signed to the UFC?

No?

Then go have fun in the Wasteland among all the Floyd threads.

 

She only said she trained with Rousey before and entertained the idea of MMA, but imo her limited Judo and Jujutsu experience is laughable at best compared to Rousey's resume(only McMann even come close in grappling achievements).
In a kickboxing/boxing match, she is still untouchable and packs quite alot of power.

 

too bad she's up there as far as age goes otherwise she would have undoubtedly dabbled into MMA and eventually find success

 

Talkin' 'bout practice? Practice?

No woman will avoid a Ronda armbar.

 

i heard Ronda dropped her with a mean bodyshot.

 

Blue belt in "Japanese" jujutus? You realize that that could mean nothing right?
Blue belt BJJ taps black belt in Japanese jujutsu/Judo all the time.

If you can't defend a takedown, you can't accomplish much in mma. And not
every one can just train and become good at grappling.

 

Not to mention that a blue belt is only the second highest rank..

 

Tell that to Judo black belt Ronda Rousey

 

When will you guys realise that boxing isn't MMA?
Rousey haters are really delusional.

No, she won't beat a top male MMA fighter, but stop acting like she can't beat boxers.

 

I saw some tvshow about sportscience where they tested Lucia ( i'm guessing about45 years old) against a 25 year old male olympic boxer and she still punched a lot ( really a lot) harder then the guy.
But let's be honest, she would have to be at least 20 years younger to even think about trying MMA. To bad she isn't though.

 

Rijker in her prime would be a scary scary girl/woman. Now? Come on, be realistic.
And yes, she could be signed by the UFC, the other 3 horses Ronda hangs around with would probably get wrecked by Lucia

 

Lucia Rijker would still beat the tar out of most male MMA fighters in a striking match.

 

Eherm, cheap move TS cheap move..

What she ACTUALLY said was (paraphrasing): I trained with Ronda many years ago, and there were times when I thought that MAYBE I could have hanged with her. Not now though, I couldn't beat MMA fighters today

 

Shafir would destroy her in a MMA fight

 

Ronda via armbar to the body

Lucia Rijker punches harder than male boxer and harder than houstan alexander when she was wearing boxing gloves. He had mma gloves on

 

you mean a boxer who is also a kick boxer and has a blue belt in jiu jitsu

 

She's good (on paper) but only 1 pro MMA fight. Wouldn't bet my house on her yet
