Even though she was sidelined due to doping and is expected to return to action only at the end of this year, the Brazilian Chris Cyborg has already chosen who her favorite opponent would be: the North American Ronda Rousey. After Scott Coker, CEO of Strikeforce, said that the fight was of interest to the organization, the fighters started the fight through provocations.
First to attack was Rousey, who said she relied on her experience as a former Olympic judoka to submit Cyborg with an armbar. But soon after, the Brazilian did not let it go and got back at a possible opponent.

“My hope is to face the Ronda Rousey, I really want this fight. I think she talks too much. I don't like talking, I prefer to fight. I always want to fight for my fans. But, if Ronda wants my arm, I want her head”, Cris told “GracieMag” magazine.
Despite the start of a rivalry, there are still some adjustments left for this confrontation to take place. Cris, who fights in the featherweight category, will have to move down to the bantamweight division. Furthermore, the Brazilian's doping suspension will only end on December 16th.
