It is exceptionally clear than Cris “Cyborg” Justino is hell-bent on staying firmly on UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey’s radar. Despite President Dana White informing that a bout with ‘Rowdy’ will not be carded at UFC 194: Aldo vs. McGregor in Las Vegas, the momentum behind this major match-up is failing to waver.
The latest swipe took place on Twitter following Rousey’s Q&A session on Reddit late last night.
When asked for her sincere opinion about the challenger, Rousey ranted on the former Strikeforce champion stating that the problem with putting them together for a fight had nothing to do with weight; it was all about money.
“She’s just waiting to be offered enough money to get her ass kicked, cause she knows she’ll get her ass kicked,” Rousey said on Monday.
“I know for a fact she can make the weight. She consulted with Mike Dolce (my current nutritionist) before I ever started working with him, and after consulting with her he said he could get her in ‘the best shape of her life’ at 135.”
Naturally “Cyborg” wasn’t best pleased with such accusations, calling out Ronda on the social media service:
Stop being a do nothing bitch! Let’s do this for the FANS now (December 12) not later/ don’t worry it will be your last fight!!@RondaRousey

The term “do nothing bitch” was coined by Rousey prior to her title defence against Bethe Correia at UFC 190, and it even spawned a T-shirt with proceeds heading towards charities for women suffering with body issues and trauma. The Ronda Rousey “DNB” shirts have sold over 29,000 units in just a few days.
White has categorically stated that “Cyborg” must make 135lbs in order to fight Rousey and allegations of the alteration of such weight divisions is entirely fictitious. However it happens, we are sure to see a major feud erupt before the ladies finally meet in the Octagon and settle the score once and for all.
