Cris Cyborg Wants Ronda Rousey To Stop Running Hiding and Lying
While no serious MMA fan believes Cris Cyborg is afraid to fight Ronda Rousey, most honest UFC devotees recognize Rousey IS afraid to fight Cyborg.
That’s understandable because although Ronda is a talented MMA fighter, Cris Cyborg is the best female MMA fighter in the world.
I think Ronda Rousey could be competitive against Cris Cyborg at least for the first few minutes of round 1. If Ronda can’t lock in a submission early I think Cris Cyborg will easily overwhelm Ronda, beat her up for a couple of rounds then knock her out.
Ronda is intelligent and familiar with Cris’ skills, strength, technique, power and vicious fighting style so I suspect she realizes this too.
Here’s what Ronda Rousey recently told Yahoo Sports:
“If [Cyborg] comes in the UFC and I beat the [expletive] out of her and then I retire and become an action movie star, then the UFC is still going to be stuck with her. The division could die. She could ruin the whole sport. Even though it’s a fight a lot of people want to see, even if I beat the living crap out of her, it won’t be good for the sport because then she’d still be in the UFC,”
That statement is very telling because what Ronda really means is if Cyborg joins the UFC and beats the crap out of her, the Rousey marketing effort will be damaged or ruined.
True UFC fans don’t care about Ronda Rousey’s pipe dreams of becoming “an action movie star”. They do care about exciting fighters and would welcome the best female fighter in the world, Cris Cyborg.
Ronda will continue to run and hide from Cris Cyborg as long as Dana White and UFC allow. They know a Cyborg vs. Rousey fight would be huge for the UFC but they fear a devastating loss to Cyborg will derail the “Ronda Rousey Face Of UFC” marketing gravy train.
However Ronda should be aware of a potential flaw in this scenario. Dana White can change his mind very quickly. Rousey’s talent and persona triggered White’s 180 after he had insisted women would never fight in the UFC.
Dana White can’t help it. He’s quick to see what UFC fans want and he works hard to give it to them. He is the driving force for the success of the UFC.
Eventually White will tell Rousey the running and hiding is over…you have to fight Cris Cyborg.
Ronda’s litany of despicable comments concerning Cris Cyborg will come back to haunt her. Those slurs were not only wrong, they were hypocritical.
Cris failed one drug test and for that Ronda says she should be drummed out of MMA. The hypocrisy is many male MMA fighters have failed drug tests but Ronda refuses to criticize them. Some of those fighters are her friends and others are fighters she has praised. Chael Sonnen, Royce Gracie, Nate Marquardt, Bas Rutten, Forrest Griffin, Carlson Gracie-trained Stephan Bonnar and many more have failed post fight drug tests but not a peep out of Rousey.
I believe the Cyborg vs. Rousey fight will happen soon and if Cris and her team handle the negotiations correctly the fight will be at 145lbs.
Ronda Rousey has had 13 MMA fights (pro and amateur). The majority of her MMA career has been contested at 145 lbs or higher (yes, she fought once at 150 lbs). Out of those 13 fights Ronda only fought 5 women at 135 lbs (Miesha Tate twice). Rousey’s natural weight division is 145 lbs. She fought Hayden Munoz, Autumn Richardson, Taylor Stratford, Ediane Gomes, Charmaine Tweet, Sarah D’Alelio, and Julia Budd all at 145 lbs or higher.
Ronda competed in Judo at 156 lbs and had to cut a lot weight to do it. The UFC just added a 115 lbs Women’s Division. There is a deep pool of talent at 145 lbs so the UFC should start a women’s division at that weight. Cris Cyborg should fight Ronda Rousey at 145 lbs. If the UFC doesn’t want another female division then they can still make the fight at an agreed weight of 145 lbs with no title. Recently Rousey said she would fight Gina Carano at 145lbs so why not Cris Cyborg?
Rousey is loudly booed at her fights now. Her fan base is dwindling as she proclaims she could beat Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Cain Velasquez. All this nonsense while refusing to fight Cris Cyborg at their natural weight class, 145 lbs.
Next For Ronda Rousey? Only A 145lb Fight With Cris Cyborg Makes Sense
Cyborg’s rep: ‘Ronda’s hateful statements show that she fears Cris’
I don’t watch woman ufc i have never watched any fight but I have watched interviews with Ronda rousey.
And she seems to have a lot of bitterness.
This feminist nonsense about rousey fighting mayweather is ugly.
Good luck to Cyborg She seems decent from her interviews.
I hope you give womens’ MMA a look Deci. These women can fight.
A Devastating loss to Cyborg? You are an idiot. RR will beat Cyborg at 155!!!
The point is the Star power is at 135. Period. They didn’t NOT make a 145 weight class because they didn’t want to let in Cyborg. They didn’t make the class because most women are at 135. Ronda is 5 foot 7.
She was bigger when she was younger.
Cyborg is the same damned age. The only reason she is so big is because of Steroids.
RR wants to make sure that Cyborg isn’t on roids when she fights. It does not matter how many urine tests she has passed. The FACT is she isn’t taking urine tests year round. Cutting 10 more pounds is work. But it isn’t hard impossible work. It is ON ROIDS!!
Why cant you people see that this is the unspoken issue?
Ronda Rousey has done very well masquerading as a 135 lb fighter. However she’s a natural 145 lb fighter who has fought half her bouts (pro and amateur) at 145 lbs or more. She fought at 150 lbs and another time at a 147 lb catch weight. She’s a large woman who competed in judo at 155 lbs after cutting much weight to make 155. Ronda dropped to 135 lbs in Strikeforce to avoid Cris Cyborg.
Your claim Cris Cyborg is using steroids is a reckless tired old charge. It’s 100% false. You have zero evidence to make such an outlandish accusation. Fans want to see these two great fighters compete against each other while at their best, 145 lbs. Ronda wants to fight Cris at 135 lbs in order to gain an advantage against an emaciated, sub-par opponent. MMA fans deserve better.
Geez, you act like Ronda is the one calling our Cyborg. Cyborg calls out RR after every fight.
Ronda HAS the belt and the star power. Cyborg has nothing Rousey wants. Cyborg has some name that was given her because she cheats. In online gaming I have always said those people who start out with names that sound inhuman always end up being cheaters.
This woman gives herself the name CYBORG with a Steroid face and plays dumb when she gets caught.
The fight will happen at 135 IF Cyroid stays off the roids and loses the weight. which she can do.
45 pounds down from her walking around weight. NO REASON she cant make that weight when she cuts 36 pounds in camps all the time. She could fight at 137 and give up some money. How about that?
Your claim Cris Cyborg is cheating with steroids is a reckless, tired lie. Ronda Rousey must fight Cris at 145 lbs or her legacy will be forever tarnished. She will be known as a good fighter who ducked the best p4p female fighter.
