For years, UFC women’s bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey and Invicta FC featherweight linchpin Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino have engaged in a heated war of words.
The feud has run so deep that it spawned another series of arguments between Cyborg and Rousey‘s mother, AnnMaria De Mars. Now, after months of verbal jousting, the duo recently brought their quarrel to a boiling point.
Cyborg delivered the latest blow in her back-and-forth dispute with De Mars with this NSFW post through her account on The Underground, a discussion board for MMA enthusiasts:
Honda mom look like Kim Kardashian mom. She give interview for what? She want to be TMZ superstar? I missed weight 1 time in 10 years. I don’t know where she read this but I can guarantee I make 140lbs. Cat Zingano was world Champion 125 before going up in weight to test herself, same thing Pacquiao is doing against Mayweather. Honda would rather fight girls she know she can beat in the first round because the last time she challenge herself she only take home a Bronze medal. Maybe we can ask Dana to give the loser of our fight a medal so she feel better about herself.
In another portion of her post, Cyborg predicted that if she ever got her opportunity against Rousey, the night would end with De Mars crying in the crowd.
I don’t need my mom to give interview about how I will break some movie stars nose! Honda look p—y. Before she talk about me but now she quiet and her mom defend her. Everybody knows the time is coming. Ms. Housey please sit front row our fight and you will cry. Watch Joanna Jedrzejczyk last fight this is perfect example of how To stop takedown. I don’t want your belt, I want your soul. #ChampionVsChampion.
The always vocal De Mars, who is the first American to capture a gold medal at the World Judo Championships, has thrown verbal jabs at Cyborg on numerous occasions.
Minutes after Rousey defended her bantamweight belt for the fifth straight time at UFC 184, De Mars once again voiced her opinion on the debate of whether or not Rousey should meet Cyborg at a catchweight above 135 pounds.
Maybe Cyborg should cut 10 pounds if she thinks she’s so good, because you know what? I cut weight all the time. I won the U.S. National Championships at 48 kilos, which is 106 pounds, and I won it at 56 kilos, which is 123 pounds. So don’t give me that bulls–t about, ‘I couldn’t have babies if I cut weight,’ because I had four of them.
Although she had planned to drop to 135 pounds for the first time in her career at Invicta FC 10 in December, Cyborg scrapped the plan when she suffered an ankle injury prior to the fight. Three days after her latest win, which ran her record to 13-1-1 and 3-0 in Invicta FC, Cyborg tweeted a picture of herself on a scale. The scale read that she weighed 175 pounds.
Cyborg, the last Strikeforce women’s featherweight champ, defended her Invicta FC belt for the first time when she TKO’d Charmaine Tweet at Invicta FC 11 on Feb. 26 in Los Angeles. Cyborg won the inaugural featherweight title by TKO’ing Marloes Coenen at Invicta FC 6 in July 2013. She suffered her lone loss in her pro debut, a submission (kneebar) setback to Erica Paes at Show Fight 2 in May 2005.
Rousey, on the other hand, holds a pro mark of 11-0, which includes nine wins by armbar, eight of those coming in the first round. In her last bout, Rousey needed just 14 seconds to slap on a straight armbar that forced a tap from the previously unbeaten Cat Zingano at UFC 184.
The only foe who’s taken her out of the first round is Miesha Tate, whom Rousey finished in each of their two meetings.
De Mars went by the last name Burns during her years as a judoka. De Mars won the World Judo Championships at 56 kilos in 1984 in Vienna, Austria.
