I think the quote (cannot find the video) come from the thought of a non MMA fighter trying to fight her in a MMA match. I thought it was a Sports Illustrated video where she explained it further.

Maybe not if it was chess boxing...

Well, if chess round is first and they play fast…

Yes, of course. But the difference is that Ronda would also decisively win a street fight with Maywheater - something that women are not supposed to be able to do and hence worth noting (and wonderful to see if it ever happened).

Uhm, it's not like they are going to make a street fight, you know. And, by the way, street fights are quite different from MMA as well, and are done with pepper sprays, shockers, sucker punches, fingers to the eyes, teeth, bats, rocks, whatever… It really isn't for sure that an MMA champion would win a street fight against "just somebody".
So, again, this argument is worth nothing and whole point is simply about marketing. As well as that "women are not supposed to be able to do" thing. I'm quite sure there are plenty of women which would take me in a fistfight, because, well, they train for that way more than I do. But if you are comparing men against women in the same sport… well, it's already discussed.

Why would a street fight be a wonderful thing to happen? Also, I find it highly unlikely that floyd would lose in a streetfight, but I have no basis other than my gut for that one. Submissions, which is rondas specialty over floyd, mostly only helps in ground fighting. Once someone in a streetfight gets on the ground, its over, because you can kick them in the head or push them over when they try to get up.

Because Floyd is a douche who beats women up and this would be one woman that would most likely kick his butt. I am talking about a one-on-one scenario. I know its juvenile but I would personally get a thrill out of seeing Floyd beaten up by a woman.
If they would be boxing — Ronda would stay no chance.
But then it's quite natural, you know. In the chess match between Kasparov and Mayweather, Kasparov would win as well. I guess.
