Jesse Holley calls out MMA champ Ronda Rousey

Posted Mar 2, 2015
A former NFL player says he's found the one person who could beat Ronda Rousey in an MMA fight -- himself -- saying if the two got in the octagon, Rousey wouldn't stand a chance. The man talking the smack is Jesse Holley -- who played WR for North Carolina and then the Dallas Cowboys after winning a tryout with the team on Michael Irvin's 2009 reality show "4th and Long."
