After making a statement in her UFC debut by demolishing Leslie Smith in 81 seconds in a 140-pound catchweight bout at UFC 198 in Curitiba, Brazil earlier this month, Invicta FC Featherweight Champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino continues to call out former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey for a fight at the UFC 205 pay-per-view in New York City.
Rousey, who has yet to officially announce her UFC return, has been rumored for the debut of UFC at Madison Square Garden in New York City, which will take place at UFC 205 in November.
In the video embedded above, Cris Cyborg challenges Rousey to a “Running Man Challenge,” mocking the former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion for the second time since picking up her first official Octagon victory.
Ronda Rousey last fought in November of 2015, losing her first professional MMA fight in devastating fashion as former multiple-time women’s boxing champion Holly Holm brutally knocked out the former Olympic medalist in Judo with a head kick. Holm would later go on to lose the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship when she was submitted by current champion and fellow Rousey rival, Miesha Tate.
On Saturday, the official weigh-ins will be held for what UFC President Dana White is referring to as the “sleeper card of the year,” as UFC Fight Night 88 goes down live this Sunday.

On Wednesday, UFC contender Nate Diaz spoke with Ariel Helwani for a special edition of “The MMA Hour” at MMAFighting.com.
During the discussion, Diaz spoke about the rumors stemming from his meeting with UFC management in Stockton, California. According to reports, the meeting ended abruptly with UFC President Dana White storming out of the restaurant they were meeting at.
“That was exaggerated,” Diaz said of the TMZ report. “We finished talking and then we walked out. It wasn’t the worst meeting. It wasn’t the best meeting but it wasn’t the worst meeting either.”
Regarding the issues that did come out of their meeting, Diaz made it clear that after drawing the second largest buyrate in UFC pay-per-view history for his first fight with Conor McGregor, he simply wants to be paid for an immediate rematch against the Irish mega-star.
“It seems like this is a pretty big deal, so can I be compensated for this?” Diaz said. “They weren’t the happiest about that, but they’re not talking to me about it right now, so we’re working on it and we’re going to get it figured out.”
Diaz also spoke about the fact that he feels he should be promoted better by the UFC.
“Can I get built up a little better?” Diaz said. “Conor McGregor is an artificial, they pushed him and he wasn’t whooping all types of asses and sh*t. They put me in, I’ve been in fight after fight, I didn’t do no media, I didn’t do no sh*t … now he’s where he’s at because the UFC kicked his ass and put him in gear and blew him up. How come he was such a big deal when he beat Dennis Siver. Who the f*ck is Dennis Siver? Is that guy even ranked? I’m like, ‘get the f*ck out of here.’
“My following is strictly from ass whooping and talking some sh*t,” Diaz added. “And this motherf*cker is like on top of the world because the UFC wanted him to?”
At the end of the day, it sounds like Diaz does, in fact, expect to meet “The Notorious” one inside the Octagon again.
“We went and took a picture by the mural that was downtown here, and then afterwards we talked a little more,” Diaz said. “They were cool and I was cool and it was just business talk. It didn’t end on the happiest notes but I think stuff is getting done and stuff is moving forward.”
