Ronda Rousey had an unexpected pick when asked who she’d want to face in a celebrity matchup.

The former UFC and WWE wrestler appeared on The Breakfast Club, where hosts pressed her to name a popular celebrity for a hypothetical fight. When Charlamagne tha God floated Chrisean Rock,—saying she can “scrap”—and Loren LoRosa mentioned that Rock recently became religious, Rousey hesitated before naming Azealia Banks as a worthy opponent instead.

“I don’t know, she found God. I might have to go hit up Azealia Banks or something,” Rousey said at around the 47:00 minute mark.

“Damn. Oh my God. Now we talking,” Charlamagne responded. “Ronda Rousey versus Azealia Banks, what we doing?”

“I’m there,” LoRosa said.

“I’d walk out to her song,” Rousey laughed.

Banks might just be bold enough to take Rousey up on the offer. Some of her latest antics date back to last month, when she accused Doja Cat of borrowing too heavily from Nicki Minaj following the release of Doja’s latest album, Vie.

The controversy started after a fan compared Doja’s rhyme style on “AAAHH MEN!” to Nicki’s delivery on “Stupid Hoe.”

“Ok, I love the girls and love Nicki, but we can’t just be riding Nicki’s dick like this,” Banks wrote. “Like, a teeny bit of inspiration or borrowing is okay and respectful … but the full-on Nicki cosplays have to stop because it’s almost like mocking her. Which is rude.”

Shortly after, Banks added, “Ugh, she almost had me,” seemingly confirming she’d previously been a fan of Doja. Just two days earlier, she had tweeted, “Wait I really like this Doja record,” later adding in another post, “This is her best work. I’m obsessed with this. It’s so good.”
