The much-awaited fight between Cristiane Justino or Cris Cyborg and Ronda Rousey gets a new update from Rousey herself. She revealed that she is ready to fight Cris only when she loses her weight.
Currently, Cris is 145 pounds and she will have to cut ten pounds to be able to be in the welterweight category. The talks about Cris Cyborg vs. Ronda Rousey have been going on for the past three years and Rousey is ready to wait for only two more years. After that, she plans to move on.
"Pacquiao vs. Mayweather had a five-year build up and it earned 5.5 million buys. We are at about three (years). So I would say, I'll keep my hopes up until five (years), then I'm moving on after that," Rousey told The MMA Hour during an interview.
Meanwhile, Cris talked to UFC Tonight earlier and she stated that she is tired of hearing Rousey's name again and again and she finds it annoying.
However, she added that she wants to fight Rousey and said that she is working with professional nutritionist named George Lockhart to get to 135 pound. She explained that she is trying 100 percent to make this bout with Rousey, a reality.
Before closing, Cris offered Rousey to meet her at 140 pounds and meet her for the fight.
Meanwhile, Ronda Rousey's next fight happens with Bethe Correia in UFC 190 at HSBC Arena, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Aug. 1, 2015. This is a pay-per-view event.
