One of the dream bouts most WMMA and even MMA fans in general have always wanted to see is the one between “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey and Christine “Cyborg” Santos. Both ladies have made it known that they have a desire to square off against one another. Rousey even went as far to call cyborg a cheater when she tested positive for anabolic staroids back in 2012. As for Cyborg she once said in an interview that she “really wants to punch Rousey’s face”
When it comes to fans of the sport some say that Rousey is scared of cyborg while others say “when a fighter calls out another fighter, (the champion at that) then the challenger should be making the weight changes not the other way around. It’s also been brought up by Rousey fans that cyborg is the one that left the UFC right after it was announced that they would be doing drug rest. Which begs the question is it really cyborg who is afraid of Rousey?
Up until today cyborg has said she wouldn’t drop weight because its very dangerous and her doctor had said it could even cause death. However an interview was just released where cyborg states that she is going to give 100% to trying to drop to 135 (she currently fights at 145) and she wants to fight Ronda in December of this year.
