A superfight between WMMA superstar Cris Cyborg, and former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has always been just out of arms reach for MMA fans.<\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, when UFC President Dana White announced that Rousey would be returning to the Octagon in December, over a year after suffering the first loss of her professional career at the hands of Holly Holm at UFC 193<\/a>, White announced that in addition to returning for a championship fight with Amanda Nunes at UFC 207<\/a>, Rousey was looking for a superfight with Cris Cyborg if she defeated Nunes at UFC 207.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Ronda<\/a><\/p>\n

While Rousey’s nutritionist maintained that a fight between the two would give Cyborg a significant advantage<\/a> given that Cyborg ordinarily fights at featherweight in the Invicta banner, Cris Cyborg is doing everything in her power to bait Rousey into a fight.<\/p>\n

During a recent interview with TMZ<\/a>, Cyborg went on to once again put Rousey on blast, saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course [she is scared of me]. She knows I [would] kill her. Same thing that happen(ed) with Holly Holm and her will be worse with me. She know[s] this. She know[s] this.<\/p>\n

She don’t fight for the belt [the] first time. They gave her the belt and she’s fight(ing in the) UFC, the big promotion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSame way you talk to guys, you have to have the balls. She speak a lot of things about me… and why she don’t go in (the) octagon with me, fight with me? Man, she don’t have (the balls). She don’t have. She don’t have.<\/p>\n

And I know – girls, of course she no have (balls)… but when you speak about someone, you have to go, ‘No, f**k that. I’m gonna fight her. Let\u2019s go in the octagon, make this fight happen.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While Cyborg only has 2 fights under the UFC banner, the Invicta FC featherweight champion has been extremely dominant in her two Octagon outings despite brutal weight-cuts.<\/p>\n

\"invicta<\/a><\/p>\n

In her most recent appearance in the Octagon, Cyborg defeated Swedish striking standout Lina Lansburg via 2nd round TKO<\/a> in what was an extremely impressive performance that saw Cyborg showcase not only her spectacular striking, but also her clinch game as well as her ground game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
