Cris “Cyborg” Justino has been angling for a fight against Ronda Rousey for a LONG time but it appeared Rousey was not with it. In fact, it looked like Rousey didn’t want to get back in the Octagon at all after losing to Holly Holm, but Dana White says that’s not the case.
Cyborg is coming off another dominant performance this past weekend, and White says Rousey “absolutely, positively” wants to fight Cyborg.
White says he’s still gunning to get Ronda back fighting this year and then focus on setting up the super fight with Cyborg. Rousey is still shooting a movie and wanted time off from UFC. White says she gave her all in the Octagon for four straight years and wanted some rest. He also said she has some nicks and injuries. “She’s getting nasty again and her head’s in the right place.”
