En match mellan Ronda Rousey (11-0) och Cristiane ’Cyborg’ Justino (13-1-0-1)har hypats upp under tre års tid och Rousey har även gett Justino en deadline som går ut om två år.
Rousey menar att Justino har använt otillåtna preparat under en väldigt lång tid.
“She’s very obviously been abusing performance-enhancing drugs for a long time, to the point her jawline, her hands and feet, everything is just morphed by what she’s done to her body. I use the term ‘her’ lightly,” Sa Rousey.
Rousey tänker inte göra Justino några tjänster genom att acceptera en match i 145 pounds istället för 135.
“I have to think about what sends the right message,” sa hon. “I’m not going to do backflips for a cheating con artist. And to be honest, if you can make 145 juiced the f-ck up on steroids, you can get off of them and move down. This chick, her whole life, has had advantages that she didn’t earn.”
“Of course I would (win at 135, even if she was 145). Would I do that? No. She’d have to make 135 just like everybody else, and would have to be clean just like everybody else. There’s no reason she should get a special set of rules just because she cheated for a long time and got a reputation.”
“She was in the UFC and was in talks about going to ’35 and everything,” sa Rousey. “… Then they announced out-of-competition drug testing in the UFC, and 24 hours later, she asked to be released.”
En deadline på två år har blivit bestämd av Rousey och sen kommer hon att gå vidare.
“How long of a buildup was there for (the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao) fight? Five years. It was five years,” sa Rousey. “Me and ‘Cyborg,’ this talk has been happening for about three years. She’s got two more years to really step up, get herself in the UFC and fight me just like everyone else does, or I’m going to get on with my life.”
Rousey tycker inte alls att Justino är teknisk utan att hon förlitar sig på sin styrka.
“She wants enough money that she could take a loss for it,” Rousey said. “She’s one of those people that it’s all just ‘roids and muscle and no technique. No anything. She just had a muay Thai fight and got dropped six times – she has no chin at all. … Her technique just sucks, and she just manhandles her way out of it.”
