Ronda Rousey On Instagram After Losing UFC Title: ‘I’m going to take a little bit of time, but I’ll be back’

Within 45 seconds, Cris Cyborg ended the match at Invicta FC 13. She immediately called out UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and told her to "stop running."

It was the headlining act at Invicta FC 13 between Cris Cyborg, who was defending the featherweight title, and Faith Van Duin. Cyborg destroyed Duin within seconds. After the match, Cyborg said that she will try to make 135 lbs, 145 lbs. She challenged the UFC champ and said, "Ronda Rousey, stop running!" according to Bleacher Report.

Cyborg and Rousey's conflict has been on for many years. However, the issue of weight has been the prime cause that has stopped these two from entering into the cage.

According to officials at UFC, the Rousey and Cyborg match can never happen if Cyborg fails to bring her weight to bantam level.

Meanwhile, Cyborg revealed that she would like to fight again in September, according to MMA Junkie. The fighter will defend the title on various occasions. However, since her fights only last seconds, people feel that she has hardly any competition.

"In training, you have to respect your opponent and be ready for any situation," Cyborg said. "I train every day, and I never think the fight is going to happen like this. I try to challenge myself."

When Cyborg was asked of Rousey watched her bout at Invicta FC 13, she said she must be watching her friend. Rousey's training partner Marina Shafir was defeated in 37 seconds dung the event.

It has yet to be seen when the world will witness Cris Cyborg vs. Ronda Rousey.
