If Ronda Rousey ever needed ammunition to get herself back on training and prepare for a possible fight with Cris “Cyborg” Justino, the Brazilian has given it to her.
Cyborg, appearing on the FOX Sports 1 program “Speak For Yourself” on Thursday, threatened to leave Rousey needing surgery if the two ever square off.
“My last fight, I broke the nose of the girl in three places,” she said. “If I fight her she’ll have to do surgery on her face after.
“I’m not kidding.”
Cyborg, the reigning Invicta FC featherweight champion, has competed twice now inside the Octagon at 140 pounds. Rousey is a former UFC bantamweight champion who has not fought since dropping the title to Holly Holm last year.
