One name momentarily dislodged the grins on the faces of some of Ronda Rouseys friends, family members and teammates after UFC 184. <\/p>\n
The mention of Cristaine Cyborg Justino at the post-fight press conference elicited groans from the Rousey contingent. UFC President Dana White drowned them out along with the possibility of a bout between the two best female fighters happening any time soon. <\/p>\n
The thing with Cyborg is making that weight, White said. I just dont know if she can make the weight. If she could make the weight a couple times, wed see what we could do. <\/p>\n
Cyborg established herself as the greatest female fighter in the world at 145 pounds before Rousey broke into the UFC and far surpassed her perception- and visibility-wise as a dominant champion at 135 pounds. <\/p>\n
Given the twos war of words over the years, Cyborg is the only fighter Rousey hasnt fought who could provoke a negative reaction from the champions camp. Shes also the only fighter left who wouldnt be a colossal underdog against Rousey. <\/p>\n
