But U.S. Olympic hurdler Lolo Jones reckons she could last at least 60 seconds against the UFC champ — just by running circles around the Octagon, writes the Bleacher Report. Jones tweeted Sunday, “I can’t fight but I’ll prolong it and run circles for least a minute.” > [](https://twitter.com/lolojones/status/627715199324172292) Even UFC featherweight champion [Conor Mcregor](http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2015/07/29/conor-mcgregor-isnt-scared-of-any-ufc-fighters-except-ronda-rousey/ "undefined") says he would not like to come face-to-face in the cage with Rousey. And with her last four fights totaling just 2 minutes 10 seconds, Jones is going to need a lot more than speed to outsmart her. Although the track and field star was probably just kidding. \[[Bleacher Report](http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2537691-lolo-jones-says-she-can-last-a-minute-in-the-octagon-with-ronda-rousey "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3981642/ronda-rousey-lolo-jones-tweet-fight/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3981642/ronda-rousey-lolo-jones-tweet-fight/"},"headline":"Did Lolo Jones Just Say She Could Last At Least a Minute Against Ronda Rousey?","datePublished":"2015-08-03T02:38:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T09:49:53.002Z","description":"“I can’t fight but I’ll prolong it and run circles for least a minute\"","url":"https://time.com/3981642/ronda-rousey-lolo-jones-tweet-fight/","keywords":["mma","tweet","fight","UFC","Ronda Rousey"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Helen Regan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/helen-regan/"}],"articleSection":"Sports","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/sports/","name":"Sports"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/mma/","name":"mma"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3981642/ronda-rousey-lolo-jones-tweet-fight/","name":"Did Lolo Jones Just Say She Could Last At Least a Minute Against Ronda Rousey?"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Ronda Rousey Fights Bethe Correia At UFC 190","description":"Ronda Rousey Fights Bethe Correia At UFC 190","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/zJhkTwVI/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-08-02T18:04:27.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/zJhkTwVI.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3981642/ronda-rousey-lolo-jones-tweet-fight/","duration":"PT41S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3981642/ronda-rousey-lolo-jones-tweet-fight/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
