The war of words continues between women’s batemweight champion Ronda Rousey and Chris cyborg. This week in a media lunch in to promote UFC175 when asked about a potential fight with chis cyborg the champ had some choice words to say about Cyborg. She said: “if cyborg wants to get her ass beat she knows where I’m at”
You can check out what else she had to say about the potential fight here via Pro MMA Now http://prommanow.com/2014/06/28/rousey-if-cyborg-wants-to-come-get-her-ass-beat-she-knows-where-im-at/
You guys may recall that cyborg left the UFC only 24 hours after they announced random out of completion drug testing. Cyborg even tested positive for steroid usage when she was in strikeforce. Cyborg has also said it could be potentially life threatening for her to drop from 145 to 135.
Now let me just say this if its soooo dangerous why does she keep running her mouth about Rousey.. Even to an extent where she called herself a horse tamer and wore a shirt that said “Ronda Rousey is my bitch”
Love Rousey or hate her it doesn’t change the fact that she’s the champion! She shouldn’t have to move up in a weight class for ANYONE. If cyborg truly wants Rousey she should be the one making the effort and stop making excuses.
Rousey is set to defend her title against Alexis Davis this Saturday on July 5th at UFC 175 against well rounded challenger and veteran Alexis Davis. As far as cyborg goes she currently has a contract with Invicta FC and with the recent deal that invicta landed with UFC fight pass one can assume its only a matter of time before we see cyborg in the octagon again.
What do you guys think? Is this still a fight you’re interested in or are you over this war of words?

Ronda Rousey has been one of the fastest rising stars ever since she made her UFC debut in 2011 when she defeated Liz Carmouche. Ever since then it’s pretty much been a non stop ride for the champ. What’s next you may ask? Well according to “Rowdy” she wants to take a break. You can read the article here http://www.mmaweekly.com/ronda-rousey-planning-to-take-a-break-following-ufc-175
Not sure if you remember but Rousey had scheduled a vacation/cruise but those plans came to a holt when she was offered to fight Sara Mcmann. That being said I think it’s safe to say the women’s batemweight champion deserves a break don’t you think?
Before that though she has to face her next challenger Alexis Davis in the co main event of UFC175 on July 5th
Oh and never fear guys because Rousey has said it won’t be some type of hiatus break. When she says break she means “probably like a month”

I have to be up pretty much at the butt crack of dawn tomorrow to run some errands and my disability is not being nice to me tonight & is causing me extreme pain. However I will not let that stop me from delivering content to the best of my ability & sharing this gem with all of you.”Josh Barnett conquers the world” debuted on http://www.foxsports1.com this morning, but unfortunately you can’t watch the video if you have an iPhone. You can however download the audio via iTunes or you can listen via sound cloud just like I did https://m.soundcloud.com/barnett-conquers-world/shayna-bazler
I’m telling you this has to be one of the best Shayna Baszler interviews I’ve heard (with the exception of the ones I did of corse lol) simply because I smiled the whole way through and by the end of it my sides were hurting, so please if you’re a member of the Queens Army or a fan of “the warmaster” himself give this first episode a listen you won’t regret it.

WARNING PODCAST INCLUDES EXPLICIT LANGUAGE
I know this is old but in my eyes it’s an oldie but a goodie. After all it is #Sundaygunday AND I am interviewing Jessamyn Duke today at 3pmPST/6pmEST on http://www.blogtalkradio.com/DTRTwrestling
I figured what better way to get hyped for the interview then by watching this incredible bout between Jessamyn Duke and Raquel Pennington?
This fight was arguably the best fright of the season of Tuf18 and some will even go as far to say that it was the best fight in the history of WMMA and rightfully so.
Sit back and relax, push the time travel button and enjoy this beauty of a fight.
-Vanessa (@GreatLove91)
When you hear the name “Shayna Baszler” typically two things come to mind. 1. Pioneer of WMMA or 2. Pro wrestling fan. Some other things might be “metal lover” or “2nd amendment supporter” anyway you get my point.
If you follow Baszler on social media(and if your not shame on you, drop whatever your doing and go do it NOW @QoSBaszler) you’ll know that she’s a huge fan of the WWE and the WWE loves her back. So the question is will she ever make the jump to the world of professional wrestling?
I mean after all she does specialize in “catch wrestling”and was one of the only females trained under the late great Billy Robinson. For those who don’t know catch wrestling is very similar to pro wrestling. In fact the beloved Daniel Bryan uses a lot of catch wrestling techniques in the WWE.
If the 33 year old Baszler would ever consider a career in pro wrestling she would fist have to “take care of a Brazilian first”. Baszler said quote “even if they (WWE) called me tomorrow I would have to tell them I have to have this fight first for the movie, the movie version of my life”
You can read more of the interview she did with fox sports 1 here http://msn.foxsports.com/ufc/story/shayna-baszler-needs-first-ufc-fight-before-considering-wwe-career-060914
The fight Baszler is referring to is of corse her UFC debut against Bethe Corriea at UFC176 Aug 2nd at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. A fight that she’s been shedding blood, sweat and tears to get for 10+ years.
There you have it ladies and Gents its possible that we COULD see “the queen of spades” in WWE in the future but first she has to become the 1 in 8-1
Oh and how about that Shayna Baszler movie? Would you watch? I know I would.
-Vanessa (@GreatLove91)
Never fear ladies and gents Shayna Baszler is still very much “the queen of spades” I mean after all we know there can only be one true “Queen of hearts” and that is none other then Natalya Neidhart. However that doesn’t mean that Baszler can’t be an honorary member of the legendary Hart Family. By the looks of it after tonight that has been made official.
Check out Natalya’s tweet https://twitter.com/natbynature/status/476919935361613825
Pictured above (and in the tweet) is Baszler with Davey boy smith Jr. The son of late great professional wrestler “The British Bulldog” (who became a member of the hart family by marrying Diana Hart).
Like they always say a picture is worth 1000 words. Can this be more proof that Baszler is getting ready for an appearance at WWE Summerslam?
Only time will tell.

It was just announced via @Armbatnation that Jessamyn Duke’s next fight will take place 7/16/14 on UFC fight night. https://twitter.com/armbarnation/status/476449617542778880
Her opponent? Leslie smith. Both these ladies are coming off losses they suffered in April. Duke against Corriea and Smith against Kaufman, so one can assume both these ladies are looking to bounce back. It should be a great fight. Get ready to load up fellow “Gun Club members. We mean business.
-Vanessa (@GreatLove91)
You know those nights when you’re too excited so sleep is non exist? Well tonight is one of those nights for me. Not only me but all members of “the Gun Club” it was JUST ANNOUNCED via twitter by “the gun” herself that there’s going to be a fight announcement coming soon
That’s right ladies and gents Jessamyn Duke is once again stepping foot in the octagon sometime in the near future. We last saw Duke in the octagon on April 26th at UFC172 in which Duke came up short(if you even want to call it that) against Bethe corriea who will later take on Duke’s training partner Shayna Baszler Aug 2nd at UFC176 in Los Angeles CA.
Now you may recall shortly after that fight I posted a piece stating that this was only the beginning, she will one day be a threat to Rousey’s title(I still firmly believe that by the way) and that the #JessMovement lives!
Well this announcement proves my point. So who do you guys think her opponent will be? One things forsure whoever it is will have their hands full because all of us should already know “Don’t play with Guns”

I tell you whenever I see things like this on my twitter TL I can’t help but smile. Just this Thursday Natalya and Charlotte had an amazing match on nxt takeover, who’s one of the people that Natalya credits for such a successful match? None other then “the queen of spades” Shayna Baszler. You can check out the tweet here
Who knows maybe with all the training and time shared between these two it could mean that the queen of hearts and queen of spades may team together in the squared circle in the near future.
Only time will tell
