'Cyborg'Santos to Ronda Rousey: 'Step up b*tch, I'll kick your ass with one hand tied behind my back'

By Adam Guillen Jr. on Jan 30, 11:00p

Cristiane 'Cyborg' Santos is raving mad at critics who say she is afraid to step up against UFC women's bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey. In fact, she is willing to fight 'Rowdy' with one hand tied behind her back to prove she can 'kick her ass.'

Oh no she didn't!
Former Strikeforce women's Featherweight champion Cristiane Santos is fed up with all the naysayers, including Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) president Dana White, who feel she is ducking current Bantamweight champ, Ronda Rousey.

"Cyborg" wants to make it clear she is "not afraid" of "Rowdy" and her slick submission skills; she simply can't make the drop down to 135 pounds. However, Santos is more than willing meet Rousey at a catch weight of 140 pounds. If that's not enough, she will gladly step into the Octagon against the former Judoka with one hand tied behind her back.

Furthermore, "Cyborg" believes White is looking for every advantage that will favor his new golden girl, which is the reason he wants the fight to take place at bantamweight.

The Brazilian took to her Instagram and Twitter accounts to vent out her frustrations and lay down the gauntlet:

"I am not afraid of Ronda! I will fight her anywhere and anytime for free. Everyone knows I barely make 145, but I am willing to sacrifice and meet her half way at 140. I can't believe Dana says I want nothing to do with Ronda. What he wants me to do is fight Ronda with both my hands tied behind my back or comatosed-so that she can have a chance-which is what making me fight at 135 is -- to finally shut everyone up -- I will fight Ronda with one hand tied behind my Back at 140lb and still kick her ass and prove that I'm the real champ not her- and let the winner take ALL come on rhonda step up bitch!"
So what's a measly five pounds among frenemies?

Well, according to "Cyborg's" doctors, should she drop the extra baggage, it will put her health at risk and will likely affect her chances of ever having children.
Santos' manager, former UFC Light Heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz, recently revealed he has been trying his hardest to make the fight happen between the two female mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters, but the task has proven tougher than he imagined.

Nevertheless, Santos has just about had enough of everyone doubting her willingness to step up against the face of women's MMA and will likely be a very interested observer at UFC 157 when Rousey takes on Liz Carmouche on Feb. 23, 2013, in Anaheim, California. And if she wins, rest assured "Cyborg" will ratchet up the name calling since everything else she has done to date has fallen on deaf ears.

If you insult, denigrate and defame them, they will come.

Ronda fought at 145 before. She could meet the challenge at 140. I'm salivating for this title fight. Both are apex female predators. I see two drastically different results. This should be the first female main event...but then how would they top it.

I really think the UFC making the womens division at 135 was a mistake. I think they should have done 140 and had the best of both worlds because I don't think either division has the talent on its own to justify a title in the UFC.

Either way 145 is were I want to see the fight, Cyborgs size and strength advantage is exactly why the fight is interesting take it away and its just meh. Kinda like Anderson Silva's fights at LHW, nobody would have had interest in James Irvin/Silva at MW.

Truer words were never spoken. I think all of us here are in agreement that the UFC cannot support two women's weight classes, and while Rousey is Dana's baby, he should have realized that the future of the UFC womens' division rests not with Rousey but with the ready availability of competition.

It is what it is. UFC has a 135lb division. If Cyborg and her man muscles can't get to 135 then so be it.

Guy fighters don't even make catch weights out of rivalry. UFC couldn't get Anderson and GSP in there after 2 or 3 years of talk. Don't see why Ronda would fight her at 140.
Ronda can fight Liz Carmouches of the world and the division can die out rather soon.

Ronda is in the biggest MMA organization in the world. She doesn't need to "step up." But Cyborg certainly does. Shes the one who needs to make that cut. If not, the UFC doesn't need her. There is no 145 lb division. Then again, they could just give Ronda another free belt and call her champion of the 145 division as well.

As much as the UFC can sell Ronda, we all know Cyborg is the baddest female fighter on this planet regardless of where she fights. We can support and praise Ronda all we want, but at the end of the day everybody knows Cyborg is on a different level. This is what happens when you fight cyborg:
this is the last poster girl of women's mma after cyborg:

I really don't care about womens mma in the ufc with all these speak outs and politics and it's just boring nonsense by a group of fighters in the dark ages of talent.

Cyborg got busted stripped of her belt, so this is all her fault. If she had retained the belt then she would be able to dictate terms. Although if she had been champ I doubt Dana would have brought women's MMA to the UFC.

So she can either make the weight and fight or go somewhere else. She would probably beat Rhonda's ass but Dana and Company probably don't want that.

At the end of the day, Rousey is champion of the women's bantamweight division, which everyone knows full well is 135 pounds. If Cyborg wants Rousey, then she can make that weight. The champion of the division doesn't have to bend to the beck and call of a known steroid abuser. Cyborg can either cut the weight and make 135, or she can stfu.

They aren't going to let Rhonda fight at her at anything but 135, they're protecting her by not doing 140 and putting Featherweight and Bantamweight together and it's pretty clear why. Cyborg would beat her to death.

So on one hand you are so against super fights and mixing of divisions or catch weights....when it comes to men.

But when it comes to your beloved WMMA division you say they should have changed the division just so these 2 could fight? Ronda fought at 145 and cut down to 135....so what is Cyborgs problem? I thought there was plenty of talent? Surely this 1 fight wouldn't be that big of a deal if there were such depth....right? Cyborg is a roider and doesn't deserve an immediate title shot.

Ronda is a 135er. Just as GSP shouldn't meet Anderson, Ronda shouldn't meet Cyborg.

People saying Dana is "bubblewrapping" Ronda are being ridiculous and hypocritacal. Ronda won the SF 135 title. So he is protecting her because he is allowing her to fight in the division she won the title at? Talk about delusional.

Not that I don't like Ronda, but it seems to me as though Ronda is the one that really isn't desiring this fight. If she REALLY wanted to fight Cyborg, she wouldn't care what weight the fight takes place at. Ronda is content with fighting the limited amount of talent she has at 135 and while she is willing to fight Cyborg if she can make the weight, she could care less about the fight if she can't, which is saddening.

But I think the person that really does not want this fight to happen is Dana White. He's pretty much alienating Cyborg out of an opportunity by making only a 135 lbs division, because Rousy is the icon for womens MMA now, and also because he knows that Cyborg is probably the only fighter with a real chance of beating Rousy, so he doesn't want his golden girl to lose. And I think by doing that, he's making a mistake because this is the fight that fans really want. If Rousy continues to dominate a weak division, people will lose interest in Womens MMA.

In short, Dana White is a Ronda Rousy fan, not a Womans MMA fan.

what about dolce? didn't he say he could bring cyborg down to 135 safely?

make it happen

I also think DW is bubblewrapping rousey, I have tons of respect for WMMA, but I think, and I believe it's the first time ever that I say that, that DW is doing it wrong.

A lot of people seem to think Cyborg needs this more than Ronda, including Ronda herself since she thinks "being attractive makes a difference". But if Ronda beats some girls we've never heard of imported from other countires by armbar, people will get bored. But Cyborg, UFC or otherwise, wrecks bitches. An armbar is one think, but smashing someones face in is another. I personally would check every one of Cyborg's fights from now until she starts slipping, where Ronda would eventually get boring.
