While many have been complimentary of Ronda Rousey’s performance as host of Saturday Night Live this weekend, one longtime rival was less than impressed with “Rowdy” Ronda.
Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino took to social media early Sunday morning, almost immediately after SNL concluded, to blast Rousey just days after seemingly “taking it easy” on Rousey when discussing her during a recent media interview.
Cyborg, who related to Rousey dealing with the public reaction to her first pro MMA loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193 in November during a recent interview, logged onto Twitter to take a shot at Rousey, using a double-pun to blast the female UFC star.
“Watching SNL and it looks like Ronda Rousey still needs help on her standup,” wrote the Invicta FC Featherweight Champion, referring to Rousey’s comedic ability as much as her stand-up striking ability.
You can check out Cyborg’s tweet below.

While it may have taken a couple of months, UFC star Ronda Rousey finally congratulated Holly Holm on her victory at UFC 193 in November.
During her opening monologue as host of Saturday Night Live this past Saturday evening, Rousey offered a sincere message of congratulations to Holm, claiming she “deserved to win” the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship at the event in Melbourne, Australia.
“This is the first time I’m talking to my fans since I lost to Holly Holm in November — which by the way was a fight Holly deserved to win,” said Rousey during her SNL appearance. “I just wanted to take a minute and sincerely congratulate her.”

A new promo released to hype tonight’s episode of Saturday Night Live, which features UFC’s Ronda Rousey as the host, has led to speculation regarding the relationship status of the former Women’s Bantamweight Champion.
As seen above, Rousey is featured in a new promo for this week’s edition of SNL, which shows the UFC star alongside musical guest Selena Gomez and SNL cast member Cecily Strong, wearing an interesting piece of jewelry.
While it should be taken strictly as a rumor until reported otherwise, there is speculation that the ring Rousey is seen wearing in the above video (see 0:13 mark) is an engagement ring from UFC Heavyweight contender Travis “Hapa” Browne.
The recent ESPN The Magazine feature on Rousey detailed the closeness of her relationship with the fellow UFC star. You can read Rousey and Browne talking about their relationship from the article in the aforementioned issue at ESPN.com.

In an interview on Thursday night, Dominick Cruz made it clear who he wants to fight next: His old rival Urijah Faber. Cruz first lost to Faber by submission at WEC 26 in 2007, then got his revenge in 2011 at UFC 132 when he defeated Faber by decision.
“For the past four years, the only name I’ve been asked about is Faber,” Cruz told MMAFighting.com, “whether I’m on the FOX desk or shopping at the mall. Let’s get him out of my face and out of the way, so I can continue to clean out the division.
“We owe it to the fans to make this trilogy happen. It’s been almost a decade in the making.”
There’s no word on when or if their rubber match will take place.
