Snap, Crackle, OMFG.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey holds a grudge against former Strikeforce featherweight titleholder Cristiane Justino because the Brazilian said a bunch of mean things about the "Rowdy" Olympian (like this).
So if and when they ever do fight, Rousey is going to knock her down and break her arm.
That's according to former Judo assassin and mother of the 135-pound queenpin, AnnMaria De Mars, who also explained to the gang at Submission Radio why her daughter would move up in weight for Gina Carano (more on that here), but not "Cyborg."
Her words:
"I think the first time Ronda gets her hands on her she's going to knock her down and break her arm. The reason she won't [go up in weight] apparently is because Cris Cyborg has missed weight multiple times. So if you have her fight at 140, she's going to show up at 145 or 150. So that's the first thing. If she's gonna miss 135, she can at least give Ronda 10 percent of the purse. And then secondly, she has kind of an inflated record, because if you look back at some of her matches, she's fought woman who were 125 pounds and she's 160. You know that's like Ronda fighting her little sister and her saying 'oh look at me, I'm so dominant'. So I'm not impressed with her record, and of course failing the drug test thing. I almost feel like that's sort of like when you get a DUI. That's probably not the only time you were driving drunk. So I'd say her whole record is under suspicion; certainly the one match she got caught at is under suspicion - not suspicion, it's proven. And then there have been - you could look them up - several matches where she missed weight and was 20 pounds or more heavier than the other person. So under those conditions and going bragging [about] how dominant you are does not impress me. And the other thing is; I love Ronda, she's a great person, she has many many wonderful qualities, but one thing about her is she holds a grudge, and she will break Cris Cyborg's arm."
Rousey (11-0) already established that she's willing to destroy a limb if it means getting the win -- and a little bit of revenge in the process -- having pretzel'd Miesha Tate in their first fight under the Strikeforce banner (see the grisly GIF here).
Though it should be noted that "Cupcake" doesn't hit like a cement truck.
Regardless, we're still several months away from any sort of talk about "Rousey vs. Cyborg," as the Brazilian still has work to do in Invicta and needs to prove she can hit 135 pounds. Then again, if this fight can happen, I won't rule anything out.
Fingers crossed!
