The WMMA fight that everyone wants to see is UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey vs. Invicta FC featherweight champion Cris ‘Cyborg’ Justino. Well, not everyone.

UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson took part in a recent media luncheon, and said he is not impressed with a fight between the pair at 135.

“The Cyborg and Ronda Rousey fight, Ronda is like, ‘I’ll fight you at 135,’” said Johnson, as transcribed by Dave Doyle for MMAFighting.com. “If [Cyborg] made 135, and granted, she did the drugs and that’s in the past and she’s a big woman from doing that, but her making 135 pounds, it wouldn’t be the same Cris Cyborg as at 145.”

“When people get pumped up at the fight, i can’t get pumped up,” Johnson said. “Because it’s not going to be the same Cris Cyborg at 145 that’s going to be all drained, especially without an IV, to me, that’s garbage.”

Demetrious Johnson fights John Dodson at UFC 191 on Saturday, live on PPV.
