Cyborg Posts Photo Weighing 175 Pounds, Rousey Fight Looks Unlikely

On Saturday night, UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey made short work of Cat Zingano, proving once again that she’s far and away the most elite women’s fighter in the company. UFC continues to struggle pairing Rousey with a worthy opponent, with many fans hoping that a dream fight against Cristiane ‘Cyborg’ Justino will come to fruition.

On Sunday, Cyborg posted a photo on Instagram showing that she’s currently weighing in at 175 pounds. While there was no direct reference to Rousey, real story is that she’s still 40 pounds above Rousey’s fighting weight, making this potential showdown highly unlikely.

UFC President Dana White announced on Saturday night that Ronda is about to take time off to film yet another movie role. It remains to be seen whether or not they will be able to produce a worthwhile challenger for the baddest woman in MMA.
