Enligt Cristiane ”Cyborg” Justino kommer det aldrig att bli någon match mot Ronda Rousey. Det skriver hon i en lång text på Instagram.
I många år har en match mellan Cristiane ”Cyborg” Justino (17-1, 1 NC) och Ronda Rousey (12-1) varit något som de flesta har hoppats på, speciellt under deras tid i Strikeforce och nu när ”Cyborg” har ett UFC-kontrakt. Men nu som då så ser det inte ut som att denna match någonsin kommer att äga rum.
HETAST JUST NU
Igår så hintade MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani om att Rouseys återkomst efter den förödande förlusten mot Holly Holm (10-2) i november förra året kommer att annonseras denna vecka och att hon ska möta den nuvarande bantamviktsmästarinnan Amanda Nunes (13-4) på nyårsgalan UFC 207 och detta har Cyborg reagerat mycket starkt på.
I denna mycket långa text på sin Instagram verkar det som att Cyborg sätter spiken i kistan för en eventuell ”super-fight” mellan dem och det verkar vara en mycket bitter Cyborg som skriver. Från Cyborg med hjälp av en översättare:
”The ridiculousness of Ronda getting a Title Shot after a loss and a year layoff just goes to support the story that she was created by the Media. More than any fighter who has ever existed, Ronda has benefited by company branding. She has benefited from the best interviews, the best sponsors, and the best fight promos and spotlights, but even with all of that marketing budget behind her, everyone has seen that she is not the best.
The best don’t lose like she did in Australia, and they certainly don’t take a year off after such a performance.
There is a reason Ronda isn’t facing Holly Holm. That reason isn’t the fact that Holly has gone 0-2 since their fight. The reason is that even Ronda, knows Holly is the better fighter. Styles make fights, and that is the same reason Ronda is never going to accept a fight against me. She knows my punches, size, and aggression are too much. That’s why she will demand I try to kill myself to make 135. She doesn’t want Cyborg to be Cyborg.”
Cyborg fortsätter i samma linje som andra, att Rousey bara är en produkt av media. Hon fortsätter med att trycka ner sin rival med detta.
”Ronda never fought to win her UFC belt, she received it at a press conference and when she defended it she didn’t even face the number 1 contender. While she is the most popular fighter in the UFC according to some, numbers don’t lie, and her highest PPV was her loss against Holly Holm, and that isn’t even top 5 with the company.”
”Unlike Holly Holm, if Ronda Rousey goes 0-2 I am not sure she will continue to fight. She is fighting to win a popularity contest and win back an image, not to prove anything to herself. She never wanted to give the fans this fight against me.”
Även om det ser ut som att denna match är ännu längre bort än någonsin så finns erbjudandet om en match fortfarande kvar om Rousey vill ha den här matchen.
”The #UFC knows I want to fight Ronda, Ronda knows I want to fight her, and the UFC knows the fans want to see this fight. It would break every UFC PPV record and as a promoter they want to put on the biggest fights for the fans.
If the fight against #RondaRousey never happens, the fans will know it is because the promotion was unable to make the fight, not because I was unwilling to lose the weight or because of some failed PED test half a decade ago. Ronda has chose the easy path her entire career, and that is not going to change.”
Mot slutet vänder hon sig direkt till Rousey och utmanar henne ännu en gång. Dock tänker hon inte vänta på att denna match blir av.
”Ronda, if you really want to make the fight between us it is very simple, after the fight inside the cage all you have to do is say my name. Everyone knows that you are not going to do that because then I am going to be real.#Candyman
If you don’t want to make the fight, just keep doing what you are doing now, keep my name out your mouth and avoid the press. My next fight is not going to be decided on what ‘Ronda might’ want to do next.”
