Giansanti, 26, a Chicago Cubs player, sent a series of messages aimed at the American. In one of them, he said he had separated a special ticket so that Rousey could watch one of his games up close. In another, he asked the team's fans to help him convince her to be his date at a colleague's wedding.

Faced with the UFC champion's indifference, who didn't even respond to the flirtations, it was Rousey's mother who spoke out. AnnMaria De Mars, the first North American to become world judo champion in 1984, said that her daughter has no time for romance. “She kind of has something to do in Brazil right now,” she said, referring to the UFC 190 main event in Rio de Janeiro.

Giansanti then withdrew the invitation, but only for now. “My apologies to Ronda Rousey. Ronda, go defend your title, but then celebrate by eating a hot dog and drinking beer at a baseball game,” he joked.

On the first day of August, Ronda Rousey will defend her belt again in an undefeated fight, against the Brazilian Bethe Correia.
