Cris ‘Cyborg’ has spoken in detail about her rivalry with Ronda Rousey, why she wants to fight her and her plans to drag out the “violent” fight when the two finally face off. She gets tearful when discussing Rousey’s comments against her. ‘Rowdy’ has claimed she is a “man”, referred to her as an “it” and said she has “male genitalia”. Speaking on a feature which is set to air on ESPN tomorrow (Sunday) from 9am E.S.T she reveals all.

Cyborg reveals why the fight with Ronda Rousey should happen “First thing it would be the biggest fight ever in women’s MMA. For me it would be really special because I think about this fight for a long time. I know I don’t need to prove anything for nobody. I know myself I know I never choose opponents but her I would like a fight”.

When asked why she feels the need to fight Rousey if she doesn’t need to prove anything she says “It’s not about people. It’s about I want to punch her inside the cage“. She clarifies on the reason why she wants to punch the former UFC bantamweight champion “Ronda did a lot of bad things for me for years, like six, seven years. I think everything she says about me, it’s not true. She don’t know me. She never talked to me. We never met each other”

Ronda Rousey has previously called Cyborg a “man“, referred to her as an “it” and said she has “male genitalia“. The Brazilian reveals these comments had a big effect on her and her father, she gets tearful explaining “Made me cry because, you know it’s hard when everything she said go into my Twitter, go everywhere, “Hey beat this”. I can handle this, but my dad cannot handle this”. She continues “You know…. You know I show them I keep strong. It don’t bother me. It don’t bother me. I keep training, you know”.

Cyborg reveals when the two finally face off, she plans to drag out the fight and make it as violent as possible “I don’t [usually] have any personal things with my opponents, but if [I fight] her, would be different. It would be semi-violent. It would be the same thing, you know, but maybe I don’t finish the fight soon“. When asked why she plans on dragging the fight out, she says “When you start disrespecting, you know, your family and disrespect me, myself, you know, and you try to ridicule myself in front of my fans, I think it’s not cool“.

One thing is for sure, if the pair are to ever face off it will be one of the biggest fights in MMA history.
