Ronda Rousey Says Cyborg Is An Embarrassment To Women’s MMA & Her Country

20140625-152824.jpg

Ronda Rousey says Cris “Cyborg” Justino Is an embarrassment to Women’s MMA and the sport & her country. Cyborg responds to Rousey.

“I’m the champion. I fight whoever comes up. She’s the one who has options, not me. I’m exactly where I was when she left and she can come back and give it a try anytime. She’ll get what she deserves. She really embarrassed not just women’s MMA and the sport, she embarrassed her country, as well. I’m happy to set it straight.”

“She says she so ‘desperately wants (the fight). Then how come the day after they announced out-of-competition drug testing in the UFC she asked to be released? If you so desperately wanted a fight you would come fight me, not run away. I think she’s saying one thing and doing another. I’ve always been (in the UFC). I’m not going anywhere.”

“When I was Strikeforce champ she was in my weight class at 145 and she ran to 135 so she cannot fight me,” Cyborg told Submission Radio last week. “She’s trying to use my mistake saying, ‘Ah she don’t want to be in the UFC because of heavy doping test, ‘ but she’s lying because I don’t go to the UFC because I have to cut for 135 and at the time when I talked to the UFC I wasn’t ready for this.”

“I think she keeps talking and keeps running and I think if I make 135 she cannot run anymore, because everybody, all the fans want to watch the fight and I think the only way fro this fight to happen and to make her shut up is to make 135.”

Jessica Eye vs Leslie Smith set for UFC180

20140926-194303.jpg

The WMMA God’s are trying to kill me, and quite possibly the whole WMMA fan base. It may sound like a negative connotation but THIS is a good thing. Earlier today it was announced that Zingano will be next to face Rousey if she could beat Nunes tomorrow. Dana also said he would like Rousey to have a quick turn around and fight in march as well!

The awesome news doesn’t stop there because its official that when the UFC makes their first appearance in Mexico not only will heavyweight champ Cain Velasquez be defending his title against Fabricio Werdum but we also have an AWESOME women’s batemweight bout.

It’ll be Jessica “Evil” Eye VS Leslie “Peacemaker Smith. Eye is looking for her first official UFC win. In October 13th of last year Eye picked up a split decision win against Sara Kaufman but it was overturned due to Eye’s usage of marijuana. Then in February she suffered a lost to Alexis Davis.

As far as smith goes she is coming off a win over Jessamyn Duke from July. This fight should be a good one. Who’s excited? I know I am 🙂

Can Cat Zingano finally be squaring off against Ronda Rousey?

20140926-140113.jpg

Today yours truly is physically exhausted because I decided to take a trip down memory lane of my childhood and I ended up staying up to nearly 4am watching YouTube videos. However even though my body is physically tired my mind is wide awake with excitement and the headline for this article is why. It was announced today that UFC president Dana White said if Cat Zingano can defeat her opponent Amanda Nunes this Saturday at UFC178 she will indeed be next in line for Ronda Rousey’s Batemweight title.
READ MORE HERE: (http://mmajunkie.com/2014/09/dana-white-cat-zingano-to-receive-ronda-rousey-title-fight-with-ufc-178-victory)

I don’t know about you but I’ve been waiting for this bout for quite sometime. Zingano had an impressive win over Miesha Tate early last year earning her a number 1 contender spot but it was put to a holt after Zingano suffered an ACL injury.

On top of that Zingano faced a tragedy when she lost her husband. Now that the dust is settled Zingano may finally be getting her chance on January 3rd at UFC 182 but 1st she has to defeat Amanda Nunes. Now no disrespect intended to Nunes but I hope Zingano can pull out the win because I’m sure I speak for a lot of fight fans when I say “I really want to see this fight” the question also remains if Nunes wins does that make her #1 contender?

One thing is for sure UFC182 is going to be great regardless because both Anderson Silva and Nick Diaz will be making their octagon returns. With the possibility of Zingano Vs Rousey fight fans will have a filed day.

20140817-212904.jpg

Tonight WWE held their 2nd biggest PPV of the year “Summerslam” in Los Angeles CA. With it be held in LA one would expect to see some big names in the crowd, and indeed we did. The camera showed UFC Women’s Batemweight champion Ronda Rousey in the crowd. They even gave her a notable mention. Also in the crowd were the rest of the “4Horsewomen” and MMA stars Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir. The girls were seeing backstage with WWE divas Paige and Natalya, WWE superstars Dalph Ziggler, Brock Lesnar and legendary manager Paul Heyman.
The love doesn’t stop there though because Stephanie McMahon flashed the “4’s” to the girls as she walked out to her match with Brie Bella (which can be seen here https://gfycat.com/ifrt/DigitalHeavenlyAmericanbulldog)

I’m sure this was a mark out moment not just for me but for a MMA and WWE fans alike
