41-Year-Old Hollywood Star, Who Will Reportedly Share Screen Alongside Conor McGregor, Had a Hilarious Response When Asked About Fighting Ronda Rousey

Ronda Rousey is not one to be messed with, and almost everyone knows that. The 35-year-old was not only the UFC Bantamweight Champion, but she has also held the titles of RAW and SmackDown Women’s Champion. Ever since she began fighting in the UFC, she always brought her A-game and earned respect for her endurance and toughness. Fans will be amused to hear what one such admirer, who is also a noted Hollywood celebrity, had to say about Rousey.

Jake Gyllenhaal, who has won countless awards and even more hearts for his roles like ‘Mysterio’, ‘Lou Bloom’, and ‘Billy Hope’, talked about Rousey’s strength while appearing on ‘The Conan Show.’ When asked by show host Conan O’Brien if he would last in a match with Ronda Rousey, Gyllenhaal was quick to respond, “That’s it. It’s done. It’s over!”

Ronda Rousey would beat Gyllenhaal, but he is no weakling

While Gyllenhaal is right, that Rousey would easily defeat him, fans must not underestimate the Hollywood star’s strength. Conan shared an image from the movie ‘Southpaw’, for which Gyllenhaal trained like a beast. He trained for over six hours each day and also spent most of his downtime working out; essentially, he spent five entire months inside a gym.

In fact, Conan said it best when he said, “You transform yourself for every film you do. You’re a great actor, but you also change your body. When you did Southpaw, we have a picture of you from that movie. You got in sick shape, insane shape – How long do you think you will last in the ring, Jake Gyllenhaal in that shape versus Ronda Rousey!?” Of course, fans are by now aware of Gyllenhaal’s hilarious reply.

Fans may have been able to witness the two legends together – Rousey was supposed to work with the 41-year-old actor on the ‘Roadhouse’ remake that was announced recently, but unfortunately, the plan was dropped. However, it has been reported that another UFC Legend, Conor McGregor, will be starring alongside Gyllenhaal in the movie, making this his movie debut.

What’s next for Ronda Rousey?

While fans won’t be seeing Rousey on screen with Gyllenhaal, there is something else to look forward to – after the events at ‘Clash at the Castle’, when she attacked notable WWE Official Adam Pearce right in the middle of the stage and locked him in the armbar, “Rowdy” Rousey’s moves so far have been shocking and exciting to watch! It can’t be said for sure where she’s heading as of now, but one thing is clear – Ronda Rousey never backs down, and she never goes down without a fight.
