Cris Cyborg signs with UFC
Early Wednesday Brizilian news outlet “Combate” ran a story in which Cris Cyborg said the following: “Your excuses for not fighting me are falling almost as fast as you will when I get you in the cage – stop with the reckless steroid allegations- I am clean! You know I have passed multiple test, including random testing- lets do Olympic random testing you and I- like Mayweather/Pacquiao- and one less excuse for you to hide behind – Lorenzo signed me- I’m back and coming for you – but you will either retire to movies or run to 125 like you ran from me at 145- you will never be the best until you fight the best- step up- it takes two to scrap- don’t be scared- the fans see me coming and you talking- have some respect for the fans- it’s embarrassing how you will go up in weight to fight Gina or Leila but not me- regardless I’m coming for you- make an effort instead of just hiding behind excuses – you may have 99 excuses not to fight me – but not being in the UFC ain’t one”.
Once that story was published various news sights ran rapid with the news and since then the huge story has been confirmed by UFC president Dana White durring an interview on UFC tonight on Wednesday night.
The deal in place is a contract with the UFC’s partner company Zuffa. What does this mean exactly? It means that alltgough the contract is signed doesn’t mean she’ll automatically get a crack at Rousey or even fight in the UFC
wether we’ll see cyborg in the UFC depends on if she can cut weight to 135. Cyborg apparently walks around at 175 on a regular basis but competes at 145 in the featherweight division for invictaFC. The deal with Zuffa had apparently been in place ahead of Cyborg’s title defense at Invicta11 this past Febuary.
Cyborg is still set to defend her featherweight title once more this July so it’s likely she won’t debut as a 135 fighter till earlier 2016. As far as her arche memisis Ronda Rousey she is set to defend her title at UFC 190 on August 1st against undefeated challenger Bethe Corriea in Brazil.
So guys what do you think of the news? Are you excited? Could this mean we’ll finally be getting the matchup that’s been years in the making of Rousey vs Cyborg?

The report was confirmed by “UFC Tonight” earlier this week. Rousey VS Zingano will square off in a battle of unbeatens at UFC 184 for the bantamweight title. The fight serves as the co-main event to Vitor Belfort challenging Chris Weidman for the middleweight title.

UFC 184 set to take place at Staples Center in Los Angeles
Guys I think I’m on the verge of having a panic attack but in the best way possible. UFC184 is coming to my neck of the woods… (Well my future neck of the woods) Los Angeles California, on February 28th 2014. The excitement doesn’t stop there though because UFC president Dana White took to Instagram today to announce that on that card we will see UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey defend her title against challenger Cat Zingano in the co main event. (That bout was originally scheduled for UFC 182 on January 3rd in Las Vegas) also on the card for UFC184 will be Chris Weidman defending his middle weight title against challenger Vitor Bellfort in the main event.
You can check out the video here http://instagram.com/p/uwCxy7vA3p/
This is a HUGE deal for me because I’ve seen 2/4 of the 4horsewomen fight live (marina Shafir and Shayna Baszler) and to be quite honest I always thought Rousey would be out of my reach since her fights tend to always be in vegas. I’ll be moving to LA in December so the timing is perfect.
I can assure you that if I do indeed attend UFC184 I’ll give you guys play by play exclusive coverage on our twitter account @vasquezsports
Is there anyone like me that’s super excited about this announcement? Let me know by sounding off in the comments.

Ronda Rousey gets involved in PWG event
This past Friday on October 17th 2014 UFC battemweight champion Ronda Rousey attended the PWG (pro wrestling Guerrilla) event in Reseda California with fellow training partners and UFC fighters Shayna Baszler and Jessamyn Duke. Rousey had to leave the event early since she had training in the morning the next day as she preps for her title defense in January. However the champ had some fun before jetting out. The “rowdy” one got involved in one of the matches directly from where she was sitting in the front row. She was prompted by one of the wrestlers to chop his opponents chest in Ric Flair fashion and Rousey did just that which led to cheers and woos from the crowd. You can read more on the story here http://www.foxsports.com/ufc/haymaker/ronda-rousey-gets-involved-in-local-california-pro-wrestling-show-101914?cmpid=tsmtw:fscom:ufconfox
Man oh man what I would’ve given to see that happen. Kudos to the wrestlers of PWG for getting the crowd involved and putting on a show all on their own.
Things like this really really make me want a “4Horsewomen” invasion in the WWE: I know without a shadow of a doubt it would be “best for business” I guess only time will tell

Ronda Rousey Says She Would Rather Die Than Lose
Ronda Rousey appeared on “Jim Rome on Showtime” recently. Rousey discussed why she would never submit during a fight.
Rousey said: “There have been times during a fight when I thought I was going to die. I thought to myself, I would rather break my neck than lose a fight. I will never tap out of a fight because I know the feeling of losing. I know that I would rather die than lose a fight. It’s not that I’ve never lost, it’s that I’ve lost at the worst times, so I know what a loss is. That’s why I want to win so much more than these other girls.”
Since Rousey moved from Judo, where she won a Olympic bronze medal, to MMA, she has won all 10 of her pro fights.

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.”

Can Cat Zingano finally be squaring off against Ronda Rousey?
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.
