And the “soap opera” involving Chris Cyborg e Ronda Rousey added another chapter this Tuesday afternoon (04). The Brazilian used her social networks to challenge, once again, the former UFC bantamweight champion, suggesting that the long-awaited duel between them would take place in February 2017, precisely on the weekend of the Super Bowl – a big decision for the professional football league. American football in the United States – an occasion in which Ultimate has the habit of holding major events.
“Super Bowl weekend @rondarousey? There's no reason to come back in the New Year if you're not even going to fight the girl who “took” her belt. People will respect you more if you finally resolve this soap opera inside the cage. I can weigh 140 (pounds, or 63,5kg), you don't need to come to the champion. Ronda, if you want to fight, let's do it. You're making your return to the cage to fight for the belt, but you're not fighting the person who took it from you. People would respect you for fighting me….”, wrote Cyborg in English and Portuguese.
Ronda Rousey hasn't fought since November 2015, when she was knocked out by Holly holm at UC 193 and lost the belt in the under-61kg category. Cyborg, in turn, knocked out Lina Lansberg in the UFC Brasilia, last September.
