CAN'T HURT TO TRY
TMZSports.com

MMA legend Chael Sonnen says Ronda Rousey should DEFINITELY take Floyd Mayweather's offer and work with the boxing legend on her striking ... cause hey, she might actually learn something!

As we previously reported, Mayweather says he's down to help Ronda out if she'd give him a chance ... despite the fact they've publicly feuded for years.

Sonnen joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs Tuesday night on FS1) and explained why Ronda should forget the war and get in the ring with Floyd.

He does issue this warning ... just because Floyd's a great boxer doesn't mean he'll be a great coach.

But hell, at this point it couldn't hurt.

Hard to tell who's more ripped from the photos, but it looks like both dudes easily ate 100 chin-ups for lunch.

SHE'LL ALWAYS BE A LEGEND

Jon Jones says Ronda Rousey isn't some washed-up bum just because she lost ... she's still a beast and should STRONGLY consider fighting again.

We spoke with the UFC superstar moments ago who says it's easy to pinpoint where Ronda went wrong -- Holly Holm laid out the blueprint to beat her and she needs to evolve as a fighter.

As for her future, Jon says it's important for Ronda's legacy that she get back in the Octagon and do what she does best ... because she can still win.

Jon thinks she can still beat 90% of the division ... but when we asked if she could take Amanda Nunes, his reaction kinda says it all.

Maria enjoyed a little R&R on the island of Lanai over the New Year and, judging by her rock hard body in that tiny black bikini, she's been keeping up with her tennis training.

SoulCycle Sued They Torqued Me Right into a Hospital

SoulCycle is being sued by a woman who says she was pushed so hard during one of their classes she had to be hospitalized.

Kaila Cashman says she signed up in 2014 for her very first indoor cycling class at SoulCycle's Rye Brook, NY location. During her workout she claims the instructor repeatedly increased the torque on her bike, and told her to keep pedaling. Not that uncommon for a SoulCycle sesh, if you've ever been.

Kaila says after the workout she felt sick and went to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis -- a condition that leads to the rapid breakdown of muscle tissue.

She claims she's been permanently injured, physically and emotionally, and is suing for damages.

Terrell Owens might be 43 but it's hard to tell from his hoops game ... 'cause judging by this video TMZ Sports got of him ballin' in L.A., the guy still has it.

T.O. was balling up at the Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks, and showed flashes of the athleticism that's gonna make him an NFL Hall Of Famer one day (seriously guys, put the man in).

Peep the clip ... T.O. calmly drains a three off a sick assist from the guard ... then darts up the court and straight Mutombos a shot from a guy who obviously hasn't read his scouting report.

He's still moving pretty good ... just sayin', NFL GM's.
