It appears that the war of words is escalating between Ronda Rousey and Cris Cyborg. That hardly seemed possible as we've heard Rousey say that Cyborg has been "injecting herself for so long that she's not even a woman anymore," also calling Cyborg an "it" and suggesting that Cyborg could kill women's MMA in the UFC by fighting there. Still, if there were any way to escalate tensions from there from there, Cyborg seems to have found it.

In a recent interview with Submission Radio, Rousey's mother, Dr. AnnMaria DeMars, said that her daughter would break Cyborg's arm whenever they happened to fight (as long as the fight was at 135). Cyborg took to the Underground (h/t MMAMania) with her response to Rousey's mother's statement and it appears the gloves are off:

Posts: 52 Kkkkkk Honda mom look like Kim Kardashian mom. She give interview for what? She want to be TMZ superstar? I missed weight 1 time in 10 years. I don't know where she read this but I can guarantee I make 140lbs. Cat Zingano was world Champion 125 before going up in weight to test herself, same thing Pacquiao is doing against Mayweather. Honda would rather fight girls she know she can beat in the first round because the last time she challenge herself she only take home a Bronze medal. Maybe we can ask Dana to give the loser of our fight a medal so she feel better about herself. I don't need my mom to give interview about how I will break some movie stars nose! Honda look pussy. Before she talk about me but now she quiet and her mom defend her. Everybody knows the time is coming. Ms. Housey please sit front row our fight and you will cry. watch Joanna Jedrzejczyk last fight this is perfect example of how To stop takedown. I don't want your belt, I want your soul. #ChampionVsChampion This is the last time I answer Honda's mom she only try to make her name in the news. I don't need to answer her if her daughter is too scared to talk for herself. Everybody wants to make this fight except Team Hollywood. Fuck the UG

Cyborg's Invicta contract appears to include clauses that would let her go to the UFC, if a bout between the two women can be agreed upon. Still, it remains to be seen how far apart they really are in negotiations and how much of Cyborg's insistence on a catchweight and Rousey's insistence on a bantamweight bout can be solved by money, and an ever growing disdain for one another.
