It seems like Ronda Rousey’s steroid comments rubbed Cris ‘Cyborg’ Justino the wrong way.
These days, whenever someone is doing fairly good in sports, the first word yelled out is “steroids.” Now, those caught red handed aren’t too fond of their past because they will forever be associated with steroids. This is the case with Cyborg since she tested positive for steroid use in 2011 and was stripped of a title. After Rousey beat Bethe Correia this past weekend, many have wondered what a fight between Rousey and Cyborg would be like.
For starters, it wouldn’t take place because Cyborg is in Invicta FC and Rousey has been very adamant that Cyborg is still using steroids. The tweets on behalf of Cyborg’s part all began when Rousey said the following:
“I’m prepared to deal with anything, that’s why I’m the champion,” Rousey said after UFC 190. “I fight in the UFC, in the 135-pound division. [Justino] can fight at 145 pumped full of steroids or she can make the weight just like everybody else without them.”
Cyborg quickly responded on Twitter:
I pass the same exams @rondarousey takes to prove she's clean for the same company #zuffa. #drugfree @ufc pic.twitter.com/raewuqYdbH

It seems like Twitter is the official place to set these sub-tweets off and then to put your money where your tweet is in the ring. It would be pretty cool to see this match happen though.
