Women's MMA standout Cris \"Cyborg\" Justino recently partook in an AMA (ask me anything) session with the MMA Underground (mixedmartialarts.com), where she talked fight politics, her old-school roots and, of course, UFC women's bantamweight championRonda Rousey. <\/p>\n
I perused her responses, and from the looks of things, Cyborg isn't too crazy about the current political landscape of the fight game, and she feels that a bout with Rousey is inevitable. <\/p>\n
Here are some highlights (questions\/responses edited for readability). <\/p>\n
Question: Do you dislike Ronda on a personal level for all the trash talk about you or do you see it as hype in case of a future fight? <\/p>\n
Cyborg:I don't have anything personal against her...I am from a different time. Remember when Wanderlei Silva foughtMark Huntin PRIDE? What weight was that fight? That is Chute Boxe. That is fighting because you love it. If she really wanted this fight it would have happened already...The fight will happen or the fans of MMA will robbed of history. <\/p>\n
Question: Time has gone by a lot since the first time you and Ronda wanted to fight. Do you think the fight is losing steam and big pay day for everyone because the UFC (is) stalling and putting too many cards? <\/p>\n
Cyborg: No. Everyone will watch this fight. <\/p>\n
Question: Carano vs. Rousey. Was this amusing to you? <\/p>\n
Cyborg: When I heard rumors of this fight, it made me feel like the game of MMA is changing. It's political now. <\/p>\n
