"GLENDALE, Calif. – His jaw agape, his brow furrowed, Mike Tyson watched almost in astonishment as Ronda Rousey went through a workout Wednesday at the Glendale Fight Club in preparation for an Aug. 1 defense of her bantamweight title against Bethe Correia at UFC 190 in Brazil.
In the early part of the workout, Rousey repeatedly slammed training partner Justin Flores with judo throws, the sound reverberating loudly throughout the small gym as Flores’ back crashed down onto the mat.
Later, she showed off her ever-improving striking technique, firing off blazingly fast combinations.
At one point, as the sound of her combinations thudded against coach Edmond Tarverdyan’s body protector, Tarverdyan shouted to Tyson, “How does she look?” Tyson seemed to wince and then said, “That doesn’t look like much fun.”
Rousey grinned impishly and said, “Well, it’s fun for me.”

Kevin's article includes this Tyson quote, “It would be very easy for her to have a big head: [Speaking as if he were Rousey], ‘I can beat anybody in this world.’ I don’t know. Maybe she’s a likeness of a god.”
Greek or Roman god? Or a fighting "God"? Read Kevin Iole's article to find out.
