UFC 193 Rewind: Holly Holm"s Shocking Win Against Ronda Rousey
Yeahfile this under things that have about as much a chance of happening as a cat learning calculus.
Cris Cyborg Justino has challenged Ronda Rousey to meet her in the Octagon at UFC 205 on Nov. 12.
Im not trying to inspire you to suddenly become a better person, or become anything youre not. But there was a time in your life when you told people you wanted to fight me. Maybe you didnt quite understand the way the wold [sic] worked then, but you also didnt care what anyone thought, Justino penned in a lengthy essay on Facebook on Friday. I guess what Im trying to tell you is that you dont need to be the champ to fight me.

The Brazilian fighter took verbal shots at Rousey, calling her a bully and a diva, and hinted that Rousey may be afraid to fight her because another loss would further sully what she sees as a carefully crafted media image.
The curated lives we see celebrities show everyday are fake. The perfect entourage, the new movie premiers [sic], the unbeatable record. Thats not reality, Justino wrote. Why didnt you give the Olympic Gold another attempt? How come you havent asked to rematch that girl [Holly Holm] who KOd you? Are you dieting right? Do you really think you deserve a title shot coming off a loss and year layoff?
Justino continued: These little inconsistencies in your quest for perfection start pecking away at the image youve been able to create through the media. Your flaws your unsuccessful attempts at greatness or even mediocrity are real. The media made you out to be the greatest female fighter of all time, and that is beautiful, because now everyone knows the real reason why you avoided a fight against Cris Cyborg.

Fight fans have been clamoring for a Rousey-Cyborg bout for years. The fighters themselves, though, never seem to be on the same page. Rousey has said shed fight Cyborg if she dropped to 135 pounds, but Rousey wont consider going up to 145.
When rumors of a catchweight fight at 140 pounds emerged, both fighters tentatively agreed, but UFC President Dana White disapproved.
All [Justino] has to do is make 135 pounds and weve got a fight, White said (via MMAFighting.com) last year. UFC does not have a womens featherweight division. I want that fight. Ronda wants that fight, and I think everybody else wants to see that fight.
