Last week boxing legend Floyd Mayweather publicly offered to train Ronda Rousey to help develop her weak striking game. The former UFC bantamweight champion’s stand-up game has been majorly exposed in her past two fights. She has been unable to perform her trademark Judo throws into an Armbar, as her opponents have been able to hurt her with their superior striking before she has the chance.

Chael Sonnen believes Rousey should accept Mayweather’s offer to train with him. However, he’s doubtful at how good of a trainer the undefeated boxing legend would actually be. He says it’d be good for publicity. He expressed his opinion in a recent interview with TMZ Sports.

“Hey, if you can get some rounds in with Floyd, go do it. But don’t forget, Floyd’s a great boxer, he’s not a trainer, he’s never trained anybody.If Ronda’s got some time to go work with him, I think she should take him up on it, because that is still Floyd and I’d think it’d be a cool experience, but I’m talking about an hour and then call it good.” “I would have to think that he could [impart some knowledge], in fairness. But, I think we could all agree what makes people great players does not make them great coaches. It usually doesn’t transfer. I’m just talking about for a cameo, for some PR stuff, for something for us to talk about over here at TMZ, let’s do it.”

Do you agree with Sonnen? Let us know in the comments below.
