Ronda Rousey He has always made a point of highlighting how close he is to his mother, former judoka and world champion AnnMaria de Mars. And the similarity between the two does not seem to be restricted to family ties and love for sport, but also extends to the intense rivalry with the Brazilian Chris Cyborg. In an interview, just as Ronda herself has done several times, AnnMaria spared no criticism of Cyborg and repudiated what she considers to be the special treatment received by the Invicta FC featherweight champion.

“She doesn't make her weight, she's caught using steroids and wants some kind of perk? What type of sport creates special rules for a person? She wants to fight in the top category because she can't make weight. Why doesn't she make weight? If she can't do it, why do they insist on it? She's an idiot. I fought in the American judo championships at 48kg and weighed 56kg. And don't tell me that if she cuts too much weight she won't be able to have children. I've cut weight my whole life and had four daughters. Ronda is a real athlete. She has cut weight when she needs to, and has passed tests with inspectors arriving at her house at 7am since she was 14 years old. That's why she's dominant in her weight class. Anyone who wants to face her, just shows up and makes weight like any other fighter in the category”, said the former judoka, in an interview with the “Combate” channel website.

Additionally, AnnMaria de Mars also said she believes her daughter's dominance could be good for the UFC women's bantamweight division and rejected any comparisons between Ronda and Mike Tyson, who somehow became uninteresting in the eyes of the public because he beat his opponents so easily. “It’s a good thing Ronda is so dominant. People wonder what she will do next. They want an honest answer about what I think of the comparison with Mike Tyson? I don't know much about him to be able to evaluate this comparison. If I were to compare her to a judo fighter, then yes, I can think of it. There are a lot of judo fighters who were really dominant a long time ago,” he said, showing that boxing is really not his territory.

At 28, Ronda Rousey He has a perfect professional record, with eleven victories in his eleven fights, all by technical knockout or submission with his traditional armbar. Last Saturday (28), the blonde reached five consecutive title defenses by submitting the challenger Zingano cat in just 14 seconds. This was the first time in history that an Ultimate title fight had no blows connected.
