Ronda Rousey and Cris ‘Cyborg’ Justino have been mixing words in the media since Rousey became UFC champion, but recently Cyborg has threatened to move the war of words into the court room:

Cris Cyborg @criscyborg

I pass the same exams @rondarousey takes to prove she’s clean for the same company #zuffa. #drugfree @ufc 

Cris Cyborg @criscyborg

@rondarousey you can not slander me with lies in the media. My lawyer will call @Primetime360ESM

The tweets from Justino are in response to numerous interviews Rousey gave before and after UFC 190. In an interview with Yahoo Sports, Rousey said, “If [Justino] can make 145 [pounds] all pumped full of steroids, you can get off the juice and fight in the division everybody else is in. I don’t see why I should be under pressure to prove something against her when she’s the one that has to prove something. She’s the one that has to prove that she’s not a fraud.

Apparently Cyborg didn’t appreciate the comments and took to social media in an attempt to threaten the champ with litigation.
