According to a Jan. 30 report from MMA Mania, Cris "Cyborg" Santos jokingly said she would fight UFC champ Ronda Rousey for free.
"I am not afraid of Ronda!" Santos wrote on Twitter and Instagram. "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 Ronda."
Santos threw a verbal pipe bomb at UFC President Dana White due to the fact that he won't open a 145-pound division.
"What he wants me to do is fight Ronda 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 Ronda 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!" Santos wrote.
Rousey already has a fight lined up on Feb. 23, as she's slated to fight Invicta FC vet Liz Carmouche at UFC 157 in Anaheim, Calif.
White thinks Santos is ducking Rousey, as she refuses to drop down to 135 pounds.
"[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.
