Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino decided to jump into the talk of a fantasy match between Ronda Rousey and women’s boxing legend Laila Ali, claiming it’s proof Rousey is “afraid” of her.
Laila Ali, daughter of Muhammed Ali and a legendary boxing champion herself, was asked by TMZ Sports recently about a bout with MMA champion Rousey, to which she claimed she could beat Rousey, who she noted is “the size of her three-year-old daughter.”
This didn’t sit well with Rousey, who fired back at Ali, letting her know that if she wants to make the fight a reality, “she’s around.”
On Thursday, Invicta FC Featherweight Champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino decided to get in on the fun, claiming Rousey’s willingness to fight Ali, but not her, is further evidence that Rousey is “afraid” to fight her.
Cyborg posted the following on her official Twitter account regarding the matter.
