Following her first-round destruction of Leslie Smith at UFC 198 in her hometown of Curitiba, Brazil on Saturday night, Invicta FC Featherweight Champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino explained why she chose not to call out Ronda Rousey during her post-fight interview in the Octagon.
Less than 24 hours later, however, Cyborg is already talking about the former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion.
Cyborg took to her official Twitter account after her UFC 198 victory, where she posted a comment directed at “Rowdy” Ronda, challenging her to a fight at UFC 205.
“Hey Ronda Rousey, you running all the way to New York?,” wrote Cyborg on Twitter. “#DontBeScaredHomie #CHAMPIONvsEXChampion #UFC205”
Cris Cyborg won her UFC debut by knocking out Leslie Smith in the first round of their fight at the UFC 198 pay-per-view in Curitiba, Brazil on Saturday, May 14, 2016.
