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

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.”

Christine “Cyborg” Santos says she wants to drop to 135 and face Ronda Rousey

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.
