Ronda Rousey vs Cris Justino: ‘Cyborg’ Fires Back at UFC Superstar’s Mom
Cris "Cyborg" Justino fired back at Ronda Rousey's mother, who recently took a swipe at the reigning Invicta FC featherweight world champion.
AnnMaria De Mars, Rousey's mother, said in a recent interview with Submission Radio that she is confident her daughter will easily win against Justino if the two mixed martial arts superstars collide in the near future.
"I think the first time Ronda gets her hands on her she's going to knock her down and break her arm," said De Mars, who cited her daughter's achievements as a judoka, such as winning a silver in the world championships and a bronze in the Olympics.
Reacting to the statement made by De Mars, Justino ridiculed the bronze medal Rousey took home during the 2004 Olympics. Justino accused Rousey of picking opponents who she thinks she can stop in the opening round, knowing that she could lose if the fight goes the distance.
"Honda would rather fight girls she know she can beat in the first round because the last time she challenge herself she only take home a Bronze medal," Justino said. "Maybe we can ask Dana to give the loser of our fight a medal so she feels better about herself."
De Mars also said in the interview that she does not think the Rousey-Justino fight will ever happen unless Cyborg agrees to pay a certain amount if she goes overweight. De Mars said Justino missed weight several times in her career - an accusation Cyborg denied.
"Honda mom looks like Kim Kardashian mom. She gives interview for what? She wants to be TMZ superstar?" Justino said of De Mars, while also guaranteeing that she is open to facing Rousey at a catchweight. "I missed weight 1 time in 10 years. I don't know where she read this but I can guarantee I make 140lbs."
Justino then called Rousey out to agree to face her instead of letting her mother defend him. And should the fight between them happens, Justino said that she will make De Mars cry by how she will defeat the reigning UFC women's bantamweight champion.
"I don't need my mom to give interview about how I will break some movie stars nose," Justino continued. "Before she talk about me but now she quiet and her mom defend her. Everybody knows the time is coming. Ms. Housey please sit front row our fight and you will cry."
