The rivalry between current Invicta Fighting Championships Featherweight Champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino and former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey keeps getting hotters.
Cyborg recently appeared on the Fox Sports 1 show “Speak For Yourself” and spoke about her feud with Rousey,which prompted an interesting response from the champion.
"My last fight, I broke the nose of the girl in three places…Sure, if I fight her she'll have to do surgery on her face after. I'm not kidding,” said Cyborg.
Cyborg also revealed that she's never actually communicated with Rousey.
"Ronda doesn't say anything," Cyborg said. "She doesn't even say my name. She used [UFC president] Dana White and her mother to talk to me, because she knows if she says my name, she'll have to fight me. She knows this."
Rousey has shown varying degrees of aptitude for striking in her last few bouts, something that has not impressed the featherweight champion at all.
"I watched her do shadow box and the shadow won," Cyborg said. "Maybe that means when Mike Tyson lose his fight by KO, he never the same. Maybe it means that Ronda lost her last fight and she's never the same. But not because she KOs people. She never did this."
Rousey’s future in MMA has been cloudy since she lost the title to Holly Holm at UFC 193. Cyborg also doesn't have a fight currently scheduled, but said she'd rather fight at 145 pounds.
