Ronda Rousey Says Cris Cyborg ‘Embarrassed’ Women’s MMA & Her Country With Failed Drug Test

News

Ronda Rousey has never been one to mince words and the UFC’s women’s bantamweight champion recently spoke to Combate about rival Cris Cyborg’s failed drug test.

“I’m the champion. I fight whoever comes up. She’s the one who has options, not me. I’m exactly where I was when she left and she can come back and give it a try anytime. She’ll get what she deserves. She really embarrassed not just women’s MMA and the sport, she embarrassed her country, as well. I’m happy to set it straight.”

“She says she so ‘desperately’ wants [the fight],” said Rousey. “Then how come the day after they announced out-of-competition drug testing in the UFC she asked to be released? If you so desperately wanted a fight you would come fight me, not run away. I think she’s saying one thing and doing another. I’ve always been [in the UFC]. I’m not going anywhere.”
