Ronda has never been one to bite her tongue and in an interview with Yahoo’s Kevin Iole she went off about Cyborg Santos.
“I’ve said before, I don’t care if she’s injecting horse semen into her eyeballs, I’ll fight her, but that’s just my personal decision,” Rousey told Iole. “But I can’t make a decision for the whole division. I can’t say it’s the right thing. This girl has been on steroids for so long and [has been] injecting herself for so long that she’s not even a woman anymore. She’s an ‘it.’ It’s not good for the women’s division. It’s not good at all.
“If she comes in the UFC and I beat the [expletive] out of her and then I retire and become an action movie star, then the UFC is still going to be stuck with her. The division could die. She could ruin the whole sport. Even though it’s a fight a lot of people want to see, even if I beat the living crap out of her, it won’t be good for the sport because then she’d still be in the UFC.
“I really think with Cyborg taking all of those steroids and hormones and then going into the cage, it’s like going in with a weapon. It’s certainly very negligent, but it’s also criminal. I believe, it really is. Promoting her would be promoting that act and I think it would be wrong in every way.”
Cyborg has admitted her steroid use but says it was only used to aid her weight loss before fights. This year she will attempt to drop down to 135 lbs for two fights so that she can enter the UFC by year end.
If the Rousey v Cyborg fight does happen at some point I’ll bet that the lead up to the fight will be as good as whatever happens in the cage.
