Filed under: News , UFC , Videos A bout between Ronda Rousey and Cristiane Justino has been the biggest potential fight in women’s MMA for years now, but rarely seems as though it’s close to a done deal. Justino (12-1 MMA) – more commonly known by her nickname, “Cyborg” – has fought her career at 145 pounds, an entire weight class up from where Rousey (10-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) has competed since moving to bantamweight in March 2012. The sticking point of weight seemed to have been sorted out when “Cyborg” planned a drop to featherweight only to suffer an injury that delayed the move. Now, Cyborg returns to action on Feb. 27 , defending her Invicta FC featherweight belt against Charmaine Tweet (6-4). Not only is that one day before Rousey is set to defend her UFC bantamweight title against Cat Zingano (9-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC), but both fights take place in Los Angeles. During a FOX Sports 1 interview over the weekend, Rousey was asked if she feels that the “Cyborg” move is raining on her parade.
