Cris Cyborg Feels Ronda Rousey Is “Selfish,” Says Fight Is “For The Fans”

From her viewpoint, fighting Ronda Rousey is not going to make or break the career of Cris “Cyborg” Justino.

The Brazilian, who faces Lina Lansberg Saturday night at UFC Fight Night 95 in the main event on FOX Sports 1, told “UFC Tonight” Wednesday that any potential fight with Rousey is for “the fans.”

“Before when she was the champion she said she wanted to fight me. She said come to 135. Maybe we can fight at 140,” Cyborg said. “You can’t be selfish. This fight is not for me and her, it’s for all the fans. All the fans are waiting for her.”

Currently, the UFC does not have a featherweight division, which Cyborg holds a title in for Invicta FC. The idea of being UFC champion excites her, but it isn’t the main priority.

“For me, the belt is important, but it’s more nice making super fights for all fans to watch,” she said.
