Dana White to Laila Ali: If you want Rousey, 'call me'

According to UFC president Dana White, if Laila Ali is serious about stepping into the cage against world-destroyer Ronda Rousey, he's just a phone call away. 

"She's (Rousey) actually the best fighter in the world," White told TMZ. "Laila Ali would be in big trouble against Ronda Rousey. Laila, if you're serious, call me.

"If she wants it, she'll get it. Call me."

Ali, the daughter of Muhammad Ali, is a decorated boxer in her own right, and made headlines recently when she claimed that no woman in the world could beat her, including the UFC women's bantamweight champion.

"No disrespect to Laila, but she'd be in the 14 second range," White said, referring to Rousey's utter decimation of Cat Zingano at UFC 184.
