Ronda Rousey Floyd Fighting MMA Is 'All Talk' ... He'd Get Crushed!
Ronda Rousey says Floyd Mayweather taking an MMA fight is NEVER gonna happen ... 'cause he'd get his ass handed to him inside the Octagon!
Ronda straight laughed off Floyd's apparent interest in fighting for the UFC on "Golic and Wingo" Tuesday ... telling them why she thinks it's "all talk."
"That'll never happen ... I don’t think he’d do well in MMA at all,” Rousey said.
The topic was brought up 'cause of her transition to WWE, as well as Conor McGregor's temporary move to boxing.
Ronda clearly doesn't think all career switches are created equal ... and/or still doesn't think highly of Mayweather, even though he tried to squash their beef last year.
FYI, Tyron Woodley and Floyd have told us they're about to get down with some serious training ... but other MMA stars, like Chael Sonnen, also don't see TBE making the jump.

Stormy Daniels' Attorney We're Gonna Prove Trump's Camp Issued Threat
Stormy Daniels is certain Donald Trump, or someone connected to him, had a henchman threaten her life ... and she's going to prove it.
Her attorney, Michael Avenatti, says he doesn't know for sure yet who's behind the 2011 incident in Las Vegas, but Monday on the "Today" show he said there are only 2 logical options -- Trump or his attorney, Michael Cohen. If you missed it ... Stormy claims a man threatened her with physical harm if she didn't back off Trump.
At the same time Avenatti was vowing to put the heat on Trump's camp, Cohen was vowing to empty Stormy's bank account.

Donald Trump Wants Transgender People Banned from Military
Donald Trump is making moves to ban transgender people from the military ... backing up a pledge he made last summer on Twitter.
The President issued an order Friday to ban transgender troops ... except for under limited circumstances. Trump filed the paperwork in Seattle, and it states ... "persons with a history or diagnosis of gender dysphoria – including individuals who the policies state may require substantial medical treatment, including medications and surgery – are disqualified from military service except under limited circumstances.”
The memo does allow for some leeway in implementing the policy.
As you may recall, Trump ordered the Dept. of Defense to prevent openly transgender people from serving in August 2017 ... about a month after his tweet -- which seemingly came out of nowhere -- declaring transgender people were no longer allowed to serve in the military.
Several federal courts blocked the President's initial order ... but it appears he's trying again.
