Ronda Rousey: If Cyborg 'Really Wants to Make That Fight Happen, I'm Here'

Originaltext:

UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is a very busy fighter. Between filming The Ultimate Fighter, preparing for a December showdown with No. 1 contender Miesha Tate and readying herself for an upcoming role in The Expendables 3, "Rowdy" has, as she puts it, "a really, really full plate."

Rousey spoke with Brett Okamoto of ESPN, musing about her future. Predictably, the question of Rousey vs. Cyborg Justino (formerly Santos) took center stage.

Cyborg has put together an impressive 2013, posting a 2-0 record, which includes an Invicta FC featherweight title victory over Marloes Coenen. Prior to the run, Justino had been serving a suspension for a positive PED test in her final Strikeforce bout.

The resurgence of Cyborg has rekindled interest in a Rousey vs. Justino superfight, but as Rousey told ESPN, the ball is firmly in Justino's court.

"I have a lot of things going on," Rousey explained. "She's fighting random chicks. I mean, Marloes—it took her longer and more energy to beat Marloes than it took Miesha [Tate] (in July 2011)."
