Since Ronda Rousey’s 34-second decimation of Bethe Correia at UFC 190 on Saturday night, the MMA world has giddily imagined what a matchup between the 12-0 Rousey and 14-1 Cris ‘Cyborg’ Justino might look like.
The problem is, the potential fight will almost surely never happen. The first issue is Justino is part of Invicta FC, the second is Rousey’s belief that she is still using steroids. In 2011, Justino tested positive for an anabolic steroid and was stripped of Strikeforce belt. It’s something Rousey never let’s anyone forget when the prospect of a fight is brought up.
“I’m prepared to deal with anything, that’s why I’m the champion,” Rousey said after UFC 190. “I fight in the UFC, in the 135-pound division. [Justino] can fight at 145 pumped full of steroids or she can make the weight just like everybody else without them.”
These comments touched a nerve with Cyborg, and she responded in turn on Twitter.
Yep, it looks like real progress between both sides is being made. Book your tickets now.
