Ronda Rousey has been challenged to a fight by former UFC fighter and pro wrestler David 'Tank' Abbott in an astonishing sexist rant where he claims he'll hand over $100,000 if defeated - or she'll have to make him a sandwich.

Rousey, the UFC women's Bantamweight champion is unbeaten inside the Octagon with a perfect 12-0 record, with 11 of her wins coming inside the opening round.

The 28-year-old has recently engaged in a war of words with boxer Floyd Mayweather.

But now Abbott, who currently fights in the heavyweight division in King of the Cage and is a former pro wrestler, has taken aim at Rousey and is adamant he would dominate the UFC's biggest star.

"She's a girl. It's all about this emotional stuff," declared Abbott - an icon from the early days of UFC - speaking on The Proving Ground Podcast this week.

"I don't care, I will fight any woman on this Earth for free…I won't even train. "You can’t be, like, a tranny - you gotta be a female. Born a female.”

"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."

And Abbott also stated that Mayweather would "knock the stuffing" out of Rousey, were the 49-0 boxer ever to step into a ring with the Olympic bronze medallist.

"At the end of the day, Pretty Boy Floyd would knock the living stuffing out of Ronda Rousey."

However Rousey herself isn't interested in getting involved in cross gender fights.

Speaking in Australia last week, she said: “I don’t think, as a professional sport, we can have situation where an entire stadium is cheering about a man hitting a woman."
