the duel between Ronda Rousey e Chris Cyborg is the most anticipated of women's MMA and, while the Brazilian does not sign with the UFC, president Dana White even announced that Miesha Tate would be the next opponent for the belt. However, neither of the two duels got off the ground and the former boxing champion Holly holm was confirmed as Ronda's next opponent. Together to record a film, Miesha and Cyborg took the opportunity to regret the lost chance.

“I didn't know anything before the rest of the world did, because I was sleeping and when I woke up there were already more than 30 messages on my cell phone. We can speculate several reasons for them to change the fight, but the reason they (the UFC) said was that they believe the Holm fight against Ronda will sell better”, said Tate, to the North American website “TMZ”.
Then, it was Cyborg's turn to analyze the case and criticize the organization's choice. “I don't think it should be a question of making money or not, but rather who is in line for the belt. I think that's it. And this is you (Miesha), you were in line”, commented the Brazilian.
Finally, Cyborg also spoke about her own feud with Ronda and commented on the statements that the UFC champion cannot be considered the best in the world until she beats her. “Before she even fought, I was already the Strikeforce featherweight champion and she didn't want to face me when we were there. Everyone wants to see us fight, it's not my choice or hers, it's the fans who want to see this fight. (Ronda) I'm waiting, let's fight!”, he fired.
Without the long-awaited duel against Ronda, Miesha Tate e Chris Cyborg can be seen on the big screen side by side in the film “Fight Valley: Knockaround Girls”, which will also feature a special appearance by the title challenger Holly holm. The action feature film does not yet have an official release date.
