Combat champions Manny Pacquiao and Ronda Rousey Twitter

Ronda Rousey is on Team Pacquiao for the biggest fight of the year

Just over two weeks to go!

THE BIGGEST BOUT in boxing for many years is fast-approaching, and UFC superstar Ronda Rousey appears to be as excited as the rest of us.

The bantamweight MMA champion is a big supporter of Manny Pacquiao and has paid him a visit ahead of his eagerly-anticipated clash with Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas on Saturday, 2 May.

Pacquiao tweeted: “Thank you for visiting me @RondaRousey and for your support. God Bless!”

Rousey has previously expressed her admiration for Pacquiao and will be at the MGM Grand on the night to lend her support, having been lucky enough to snag a couple of tickets from the Filipino boxer.

“This is one of those fights that only happen a few times a century. I probably won’t witness another one like it in my lifetime so I can’t miss it,” said Rousey.

Too right, Ronda. And if you need someone to use that extra ticket and keep you company, we’re available.
