Cris “Cyborg” Justino still wants to fight Ronda Rousey despite the fact that the former UFC champion is no longer unbeaten.
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.

Jessica Andrade will give strawweight a go, taking on one-time title contender Jessica Penne at UFC 199 this summer. The Los Angeles Daily News first reported the contest.
Andrade (13-5) has gone 4-3 as a bantamweight in the UFC, including three straight wins at one point. She is just 1-2, though, over her last three, with both defeats coming via submission.
Penne (12-4) is a former Invicta FC champion who advanced to the semifinals of The Ultimate Fighter before falling to eventual champion Carla Esparza. She also suffered a loss to current UFC champion Joanna Jedrzeczyk for the title.
UFC 199 includes Luke Rockhold defending his middleweight title vs. Chris Weidman and Urijah Faber challenging Dominick Cruz for the bantamweight strap.

For Team Alpha Male — another one bites the dust.
After losing former UFC Bantamweight Champion T.J. Dillashaw recently, Team Alpha Male lost another one of its’ most established top fighters, as former UFC Flyweight title contender Joseph Benavidez has apparently parted ways with the California-based MMA team.
Much like Dillashaw, Benavidez is expected to end up representing the Elevation Fight Team, that is, according to Team Alpha Male coach Justin Buchholz.
Buchholz told the folks at Stud Radio the following about Joseph Benavidez parting ways with Team Alpha Male:
“He did leave the team. I mean, you train here in Sacramento, you’re part of Team Alpha Male, or you don’t live here. He hasn’t trained at all since I took over as head coach. I thought Joe would at least give a chance of me, and Danny, and Holdsworth running this new program along with Master Thong and Joey. But he never did. He came in town for one week, he moved his house, did, like, one boxing class. I’m not upset at him for leaving because he didn’t leave under me as head coach. He left when the team was hurting — we didn’t have a coach, we didn’t have much direction. So it is what it was.”

Boxing legend Mike Tyson recently shared his two cents regarding a comparison of UFC greats Jon Jones and Conor McGregor.
“Iron” Mike Tyson told Fighters Only that while Jon “Bones” Jones is “bad,” he is also a “decent” and “very shy” kind of person, whereas “The Notorious” Conor McGregor, Tyson simply says, “he’s the man.”
The former “Baddest Man On The Planet” told Fighters Only Magazine the following about Jones and McGregor:
“Conor is very charismatic. Jon Jones is bad, but deep down he’s a decent kind of person and very shy. Whereas this guy, Conor, he’s the man. He reminds me of the old-time boxers, one of those guys that’s just into everything. He walks into the room and everybody stands up. He sucks the air out of the room. He’s just a really interesting guy. He does things nobody else has been able to do, too. He’s kind of like an animated character, one that’s real though. He’s a great fighter, but his personality is even bigger than his talent. Isn’t that crazy? He’s got this huge personality. Nobody in MMA has ever had a personality as big as his. Ronda [Rousey] is just like a monster. The things she would do, but this guy is different. His personality is phenomenal.”
