On May 2nd, the world of combat sports will stop to watch the biggest boxing fight of recent times, between the Filipino Manny Pacquiao and the American Floyd Mayweather Jr. Pacquiao's personal friend, the UFC champion Ronda Rousey visited the boxer and took the opportunity to give his support less than three weeks before the super duel.

The meeting was recorded by the Filipino himself, who made a point of thanking the blonde, through his official profile on Twitter. “Thank you for your visit and support, Ronda Rousey. God bless you,” wrote “Pacman.”

Ronda's visit can be seen as retribution for Pacquiao's support before his last fight, against Zingano cat, in February. In this ocasion, the Filipino boxer recorded a video wishing the champion good luck and her team at UFC 184. Intentions seem to have helped, and Rousey won the victory in just 14 seconds.

At 27, Ronda Rousey has an undefeated record of eleven wins and no defeats. The blonde puts her belt on the line again against the challenger Beth Pitbull on August 1st, in the main fight of UFC 190, which takes place in Rio de Janeiro (RJ).

Manny Pacquiao, 36 years old, has a professional boxing record of 57 wins, five losses and two draws. The Filipino will have the most important fight of his career, and one of the most anticipated fights in boxing history, on May 2, at the MGM Grand Garden, against the undefeated multi-champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.
