According to a Jan. 31 report from Bloody Elbow, Cris "Cyborg" Santos made a splash on Instagram by saying she would fight UFC champ Ronda Rousey "for free" and "with one hand tied behind my back."
"I am not afraid of Rhonda!" Santos posted. "I will fight her anywhere and anytime for free - everyone knows I barely make 145- but I am willing to sacrifice and meet her half way at 140- I can't believe dana says I want nothing to do with Rhonda- what he wants me to do is fight Rhonda with both my hands tied behind my back or comatosed-so that she can have a chance-which is what making me fight at 135 is- to finally shut everyone up - i will fight Rhonda with one hand tied behind my Back at 140lb and still kick her ass and prove that I'm the real champ not her- and let the winner take ALL come on rhonda step up bitch!"
Rousey already has a fight lined up on Feb. 23, as she fights Liz Carmouche at UFC 157 in Anaheim, Calif.
Santos is one of the many female fighters waiting in line for a crack at Rousey. UFC President Dana White shot back that Santos will have to cut down to 135 pounds to fight Rousey, as there is currently no 145-pound female division in the UFC.
"[Bantamweight] is the only division we have," White said. "It's been real interesting. You know, I've been in the fight game since I was 19 years old and I've been doing this for 15 years and what I get out of this deal with Cyborg is that she wants nothing to do with Ronda Rousey. She does not want to fight Ronda Rousey."
