The mega-fight that mixed martial arts (MMA) fans have been clamoring for the past few years may soon be upon us.
According to UFC President Dana White, who recently caught up with TMZ Sports, former UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey wants to step into the Octagon with Brazilian brawler Cris ‘Cyborg’ Justino for what could be the biggest fight in MMA history:
“She’s getting nasty again and her head’s in the right place,” White said.
Rousey is coming off of the first loss of her MMA career, where she was downed in the second round by highly decorated kickboxing practitioner Holly Holm with a devastating head-kick that shut ‘The Rowdy One’s’ lights out.
‘Cyborg’ is coming off her second UFC Octagon win, as she defeated UFC newcomer Lina Lansberg in the second round of their main event 140-pound catchweight bout this past Saturday (September 24, 2016).
Rousey typically competes at her championship weight of 135-pounds in the UFC’s women’s bantamweight division, but according to White, who made an appearance on the UFC Unfiltered podcast (courtesy of MMA Fighting), she would do a catchweight fight at 140-pounds:
“Ronda wants to fight her,” White said. “We’ll have to figure out at what weight to fight. But Ronda wants that fight. … Ronda could do [1]40.”
Although there have been rumors of a potential return bout for Rousey against current women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes later this year in December, a clash with the Invicta FC featherweight champ ‘Cyborg’ would be a massive return to action for Rousey.
