Cris “Cyborg” Justino is willing to resort to basic online trolling to get Ronda Rousey in the Octagon.
The Invicta FC featherweight champ took to Instagram this week to try to goad Rousey into a megafight, using the “Straight Outta Compton” meme: Rousey, the undefeated MMA superstar, is “Straight Outta Excuses.”
“Ronda if you’re busy in Dec, how about April? Then we can make sure everyone knows we are BOTH clean by doing Olympic testing leading up to the fight,” Justino captioned the snap.
“Cyborg” repeatedly has been dismissed by Rousey as a steroid user following a positive test in 2011. But that hasn’t stopped her from trying everything to secure a UFC title shot, especially after Rousey (12-0) continued to clear out the competition with a 34-second knockout of Bethe Correia in early August.
Justino’s manager, Tito Ortiz, even claimed Justino had been contacted by UFC brass about a potential marquee showdown at Cowboys Stadium at UFC 194 on Dec. 5. UFC president Dana White shot down those rumors via Yahoo Sports over the weekend.
“It’s 100 percent a lie,” White said. “First of all, the UFC doesn’t even talk to Tito Ortiz, so let’s start there. But we haven’t offered any fight to [Cyborg]. Tito Ortiz is just making this s–t up. In no way, shape or form did we offer her a fight against Ronda at Cowboys Stadium. Completely untrue.”
