"We're sending the wrong message to Fans..." ~ Tito Ortiz on Inside MMA


Tito Ortiz is mad. The UFC hall of famer talked to Inside MMA's Kenny Rice and Bas Rutten about not only the growing use of TRT in MMA, but how he feels the rules have changed over the last few years. And he doesn't like the message it's sending fans and future fighters.

Breaking: Ronda Rousey vs. Cris Cyborg – A War of Words on AXS TV's INSIDE MMA


In Ronda Rousey's first interview since her Strikeforce bantamweight win Saturday night, Rousey tells AXS TV's INSIDE MMA she wants to wait for Cris Cyborg for her next fight and claims Cyborg can make 135 weight "if she comes off the juice."

And in response to Cyborg's statement to INSIDE MMA on Rousey's challenge, Rousey fires back igniting a war of words that will not soon be forgotten and can only be settled in the cage.


Ronda Rousey wants to fight Cyborg, telling INSIDE MMA’s Kenny Rice and Bas Rutten: "She needs to fight me or she's pretty much done."






BLOG: Cyborg's full statement to AXS TV about Rousey -

“I get many questions about Ronda Rousey, and I would like to set the record straight for the “last time”, as I do not consider her much personally, much less as a fighter.

She claims she is the “Champion” and openly challenges me to fight at 135lbs. (She competed in the Beijing Olympics at 70kg/154lbs, and fought at 145lbs in MMA till she learned she would have to fight me, and then dropped to 135lbs.) Which I find laughable. I have never fought below 145lbs, and I am considered the pound for pond top women fighter in the WORLD! I have yet to lose a fight while holding the Strike Force 145lbs title. My last fight was considered a no contest, but that has NOT changed the fact that I AM the women’s 145lbs CHAMPION!

There really is NOT a safe way for me to cut to 135lbs, not without hurting myself physically. (I am less than 8% body fat at 145lbs.) And my cardiologist and physician have advised me that to make such a drastic reduction in weight could have permanent effects in my long term health. And I will not endanger my health to satisfy the rantings of a spoiled little girl who has yet to prove that she can truly compete at the my level, at a weight she has not only fought at before but has been awarded an Olympic medal!

So to put this issue to rest, if Rhonda is the future of WMMA, and is the “Champion” that she envisions….you know where I am, and I am more than willing to give you an opportunity to test me. I WILL fight you at 145lbs, (you know…the weight that you started at), and then you can have 2 belts, and prove to everyone that you are indeed a “Champion”.

If not, stay at 135lbs and continue to delude yourself and your fans that you can beat me. Your really not worth my time otherwise. I will do all of my talking in the ring, until then your really not worth my breath.”

Cris Cyborg

Sorry but without the 'roids how is Cyborg gonna be a ripped 145 anymore?
