Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has made history during her time under the promotion, featuring a number of records that could well go unbroken for many years. She arguably helped spearhead the initial explosion of women’s MMA in the mainstream, but still she has proved to be one of the most loved and hated figures in the spot. Perhaps it’s just the way she was portrayed during her dominant reign as champion, or maybe you could attribute the negativity to a certain amount of jealousy or just immaturity. Whatever the case, ‘Rowdy’ faced a lot of these bad vibes in a sudden deflagration following UFC 193.

This, and many other hurtful memes made Ronda Rousey’s shocking KO loss to Holly Holm one of the most broadcasted and viewed moments in MMA history. The mixed martial arts community seemed to revel in the fact she’d fallen with such a thump, although as previously discussed it probably had a lot to do with the UFC’s ‘in your face/down your throat’ style of promotion. For all her hard work and crazy finishes inside the octagon, it seems as though Rousey had made very few friends, and a whole line of enemies.
One such enemy includes ferocious Invicta champion Cris Cyborg Justino.
The hard hitting former Strikeforce champion finally signed with the UFC this ear, but sadly a little too late to capitalize on her stewing beef with Ronda Rousey. During the former champions tenure she blasted Cyborg Justino as a ‘steroid junkie,’ and UFC president Dana White even joined in, poking fun at Justino as ‘Wanderlei Silva in a dress.’ How the tables have turned, as Rousey ate her words in front of millions, and now it’s her Brazilian foe who’s taking every opportunity to lambaste ‘Rowdy.’
Don’t think that because Rousey is on a break from fighting, Cyborg isn’t going to takes shots at her. This recent intervew shows the Brazilian brawler is not pulling her punches, and you’ll want to check this out…

On the same day that it was announced the UFC would debut this November in New York City, the current Invicta FC featherweight champion called out Rousey.
Justino is set to make her Octagon debut next month against Leslie Smith in a catchweight contest at UFC 198.
Remember when @RondaRousey said you have to come to the champ? How about we compromise. 140 super fight for the fans https://t.co/5VW8mnYDO0

The first-ever Bellator female featherweight champion will be crowned this coming May at Bellator 155, as Marloes Coenen meets Julia Budd.
The bout, set for May 20 from the CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho, will not be part of the Spike TV main card. Instead, according to a report by MMAjunkie.com, it will anchor the online prelims before the televised action.
Coenen (23-6) has won both of her Bellator appearances and is 4-1 over his last five. She is a former Strikeforce champion and challenged for the Invicta FC featherweight title, falling to Cris “Cyborg” Justino.
Budd (8-2) is also a perfect 2-0 with the promotion and is on a six-fight win streak overall.
The event features middleweight champion Rafael Carvalho defending his title against Melvin Manhoef.

The MMA world was given a refreshing bit of news when it was revealed earlier this week that Invicta FC featherweight champion Cristiane ‘Cyborg’ Justino would finally be making her UFC debut against Leslie Smith at May 14’s UFC 198 from her homeland of Curitiba, Brazil.
While Smith is most certainly a gritty and talented fighter and also deserves respect for taking the 140-pound catchweight fight, most hoped ‘Cyborg’ would make her debut against the top fighters of the UFC women’s bantamweight division. Obviously Justino has a long-standing feud Ronda Rousey, and bouts with champion Miesha Tate or top contenders Holly Holm and Cat Zingano are very enticing prospects.
However, UFC President Dana White spoke up to declare that no one other than Smith wanted the fight, and apparently Holm, who recently lost the title to Miesha Tate at March 5’s UFC 196, is one that did not. In a recent appearance at a news conference transcribed by The Albuquerque Journal, Holm touched on her desires for her next fight, which not surprisingly include rematches with Tate or Rousey:
“This one’s definitely a little more out of my hands. (In boxing), I knew that Lenny would give me the opportunity as long as I wanted it. This is a whole different situation.
“I really want that rematch, but I’m not the one with the title now. I’m not the one with the belt. So I have to be patient and wait for that opportunity to come.”
‘The Preacher’s Daughter’ seems to know the bargaining chips are a bit out of her hands after Tate submitted her in the fifth round of their title bout, and she believes she can’t be too picky as a result:
“Right now, what’s on my heart is the rematch,” she said. “(But) I don’t necessarily want to be too picky, either. I’m the one coming off a loss. I can’t expect to have everything handed to me, so we’ll see what happens.”
Holm’s longtime manager Lenny Fresquez also spoke up on the subject, adding that the UFC will hopefully give them a chance at Tate or Rousey when her next fight is booked:
“Miesha was in Australia on vacation, so they were supposed to get with her this week,” Fresquez said. “Hopefully, in the next couple of weeks we’ll know. But whether it’s Miesha or Ronda, those are the fights we’re interested in.”
As for the Cyborg fight, Fresquez, whom White infamously said was ‘not that smart’ in a tirade post-UFC 196, said that Holm’s camp is simply not interested in fighting ‘Cyborg’ right now:
“(Fighting Rousey or Tate) is pretty much what Holly wants to do,” Fresquez said. “If they have something else, it’s my job to present it to her. I’ve made her wishes known to them.
“We were not interested in that right now,” Fresquez said. “(Holm) just wants to fight Miesha.”

July 9’s monumental UFC 200 event from Las Vegas received two huge fights last night (March 30, 2016). It was announced that Nate Diaz vs. Conor McGregor II will serve as the main event, while former 145-pound king Jose Aldo will meet top contender and former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar for the interim featherweight title.

July 9’s monumental UFC 200 event from Las Vegas received two huge fights last night (March 30, 2016).
It was announced that Nate Diaz vs. Conor McGregor II will serve as the main event, while former 145-pound king Jose Aldo will meet top contender and former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar for the interim featherweight title.
Despite the magnitude of those two fights alone, the card obviously still needs some filling out, and UFC president Dana White recently said that fans should expect to see a few women’s bouts tossed in:
“You should expect a couple. There will be a couple women’s fights at UFC 200,” White said on “SportsCenter.” “Actually, two or three maybe.”
As far as female fights go, perhaps the largest involve newly minted 135-pound title holder Miesha “Cup Cake” Tate.
Tate was able to pull off a spectacular rear naked choke victory over former champion Holly Holm earlier this month at March 5’s UFC 196.
That outcome immediately set up an intriguing Tate vs. Holm rematch, but it’s widely assumed that “Cup Cake” will next defend her title in a trilogy bout with former dominant champion Ronda Rousey.
It’s currently unclear when Rousey is aiming to return after suffering a brutal knockout loss to Holm last November, but either of these bouts would be massive.
Will Tate be competing at UFC 200, however? White left it open as a possibility:
“Could be,” White said with a laugh.
Former title challenger Cat Zingano recently hinted at an ‘epic’ summer return fight as well, and Cris “Cyborg” Justino could potentially make a quick turnaround given that her long awaited Octagon debut at May 14’s UFC 198 goes as planned.
