Cris Cyborg is in full WWE mode.
She’s literally trying every trash talking ploy in the book to land a UFC fight against women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey. All Cyborg needs now is for Paul Heyman to cut her a few promos and for her to hit Rousey’s mom with a chair and we’d have a new WrestleMania 31 main event.
Rousey’s mom, Ann Maria De Mars, did instigate this war of words with her comments on Submission Radio:
“You know Ronda got a silver in the world’s,” De Mars said. “She got a bronze in the Olympics, she’s won the junior worlds, she’s won a lot of international Judo tournaments, and this is against women who have decades of experience trying to stop Olympic level Judo players from throwing and armbarring them. So saying that Cris Cyborg is somehow magically going to be able to do that when Ronda’s been training this since she’s 11? I don’t think that’s going to happen. I think the first time Ronda gets her hands on her she’s going to knock her down and break her arm.”
Cyborg joined The Underground to address Rousey’s mom:
Honda mom look like Kim Kardashian mom. She give interview for what? She want to be TMZ superstar?
I missed weight 1 time in 10 years. I don’t know where she read this but I can guarantee I make 140lbs.
Cat Zingano was world Champion 125 before going up in weight to test herself, same thing Pacquiao is doing against Mayweather.
Honda would rather fight girls she know she can beat in the first round because the last time she challenge herself she only take home a Bronze medal.
Maybe we can ask Dana to give the loser of our fight a medal so she feel better about herself.
I don’t need my mom to give interview about how I will break some movie stars nose!
Honda look p*ssy. Before she talk about me but now she quiet and her mom defend her.
Everybody knows the time is coming. Ms. Housey please sit front row our fight and you will cry.
watch Joanna Jedrzejczyk last fight this is perfect example of how To stop takedown.
I don’t want your belt, I want your soul.
#ChampionVsChampion
This is the last time I answer Honda’s mom she only try to make her name in the news. I don’t need to answer her if her daughter is too scared to talk for herself.
Everybody wants to make this fight except Team Hollywood.
Cyborg continuously calling Ronda, “Honda” is pure genius.
Cyborg is doing exactly what you need to do if your goal is to agitate the most dangerous woman in the world into a fist fight. Ronda, Dana White and others have all acknowledged that there is no need for Ronda to accept a catch weight fight vs Cyborg, but this trash talk is exactly what could make Ronda abandon that stance and accept the terms.
This is the best shot Cyborg has to land the Rousey fight and cash in on a major payday.
