Invicta FC featherweight champion Cris "Cyborg" Justino cannot wait any longer. Cyborg wants to face her biggest rival, Ronda Rousey, in her next fight in the Octagon.
Rousey and Cyborg were considered as the top women's mixed martial artist in the world last year before the former took a knockout loss to Holly Holm in November. But while Rousey has already tasted her first defeat, Cyborg said that she is still very eager to fight the former UFC women's bantamweight champion.
Cyborg said that she wants to make Rousey pay for all the bad things she said before. Instead of continuously trading verbal jabs, the Brazilian superstar wants to let her fist do the talking.
"I think Ronda said a lot of things about me, a lot of bad things," Cyborg said during an interview at The MMA Hour. "A lot of fans forget about, but I never forget about. I would like to fight her in the cage."
Cyborg made her UFC debut in May and she immediately sent a strong message to Rousey. The 30-year-old pulled off a first-round knockout win over Leslie Smith at UFC 198. Because of her win over Smith, the Invicta FC superstar is also being linked to reigning UFC women's bantamweight champion Miesha Tate.
However, Cyborg is not too excited about the possibility of taking the UFC women's bantamweight crown from Tate. She reiterated that ending her "novella" with Rousey remains as her top priority. Although she might be considered as the underdog, Cyborg vowed that she will defy all odds in the super fight.
"I'll kill her," Cyborg told TMZ. "I put everything she said about me in my hands."
Cyborg said that the fight should happen soon because fans are calling for it. The 145-pounder thinks that a showdown with Rousey will eventually become the biggest fight in women's MMA history. To show her willingness to face her biggest rival, she revealed that she will go down to 140 pounds to make the fight happen.
"Everybody wants to watch this fight," Cyborg continued. "If you ask all the fans who they want to see, I think they want to see Ronda Rousey and Cyborg."
