Rousey: Cris Cyborg has two years to make weight
“Pacquiao-Mayweather had about a five-year buildup. We’re about at three, so I’d say I would keep my hopes up til five, then after that, I’m moving on with my life.”
UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey appeared Monday on Ariel Helwani‘s The MMA Hour, and discussed rumors that she and Invicta FC featherweight champion will do a season on TUF as opposing coaches.
“I’m never doing Ultimate Fighter ever again,” said Rousey as transcribed by Dave Doyle for MMAFighting.com. “Everyone in the UFC, in the Ultimate Fighter, everyone on earth knows I’ll never do that show ever again for all the money in the world.”
“You’d have to hold my little sister at gunpoint to get me to do that show again.”
Cris Cyborg is now under contract with the UFC and has plans to drop to 135. Rousey said the Brazilian has two years, and then the window closes.
“I mean, Pacquiao-Mayweather had about a five-year buildup,” said Rousey. “We’re about at three, so I’d say I would keep my hopes up til five, then after that, I’m moving on with my life.”
