Cris Cyborg Will Attempt to Drop to 135 Pounds, Calls Out Ronda Rousey

Cris Cyborg Will Attempt to Drop to 135 Pounds, Calls Out Ronda Rousey February 21, 2014 - MMA, News By Sean Ross Sapp (@SeanRossSapp) Fans may be one step closer to seeing a dream matchup within women’s MMA. Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino announced on Inside MMA that she would be making an attempt to reach 135 pounds, with the aid of a doctor. Last year Justino and her former manager Tito Ortiz said that she risked long-term health risks by making the cut, including death. Justino, who is currently under contract with Invicta FC, turned down an 8-fight UFC deal in 2013, instead opting for her release from the company. Both she and UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey have challenged each other multiple times to fight in each other’s weight class. Cyborg said she plans on winning Invicta FC’s championship, and then challenge Ronda Rousey. Justino went as far to say she would fight Rousey for free, or in a winner-take all fight. She issued the following statement to Inside MMA: “In reference to Ronda’s statement that I am looking for a payday so that I can retire, you’re right, I am looking for a payday to retire you like I did Gina Carano. But to show it’s not only about money, I challenge you to a fight – winner takes all. Or better yet let’s fight for FREE. ANYTIME! ANYWHERE! Ask your daddy Dana to make it happen. My English is not that great, so sorry if I was misunderstood. I didn’t literally mean I would die if I made 135. What I meant was that my doctor recommended that I did not fight the rest of my career at 135, which is what the UFC wanted. You have fought 154 in the Olympics and 145 in MMA. You can meet me at 140 easier than for me to go down to 135. The only reason you want the fight at 135 is because you feel that is your only chance because you hope the weight cut will affect me. You guys say I’m irrelevant, yet watch my highlights. The true MMA fans not only know me, but know I’m the best. Sad that you give the true MMA fans no recognition by saying that they don’t matter. I’m currently training to fight at 145 on March 28 and in early May. My team has hired a medical doctor to help me make 135. I plan to challenge and win the Invicta 135 Championship in the summer and challenge you, champion to champion, for your 135 belt in December. Now I know critics will say “I thought you said you would die if you made 135.” All I’m promising is that I will give 100 percent to try to get to 135 to make this plan happen. If I do, I will still listen to my doctor’s advice and fight no more than three times at 135: first to win the Invicta belt, the second time to kick your ass and the third time to kick your ass again so that the world can see it wasn’t luck. You can even have me tested every week up to the fight. That way you will not have an excuse after I kick your ass.” Inside MMA’s video is below |

Cyborg off steroids and down to either 135 or 140? Rousy will destroy her.

To bad they weren't around during the pride hayday. They didn't give a shit about weight classes. Still ronda could make 140 so easy, she probably wouldn't have any problem with fighting at that weight and will accept her challenge.

Who cares if Rhonda naturally has been at 150, if she is the champion at 135 than whoever wants her should go for her title at her weight class, Cyborg was the only lady to beat Gina but she was on roids when she did. Rhonda has to get by McMahon and the hell wih Cyborg. If Cyborg wants Rhonda fight at her weight class and stay of the roids and fight.

I agree with you. I haven't seen one boring womens fight. They come out ready to destroy each other. How many times have we had to sit through a mens fight where the two just just dance around each other, neither wanting to tie it up.

Jon Jones is a beast, I'll give you the fact that Women's MMA is better than women's boxing which sucks. But Cyborg's comments yet again prove that women's mma is a joke. |
