Cris Cyborg Brands Ronda Rousey Narcissist in Ducking Allegations After Gina Carano Press Conference

I pray one day you become happy in yourself.”

After knocking out Hiroko Yamanaka in just 16 seconds in 2011, Cyborg’s win was overturned to a no-contest because she tested positive for stanozolol metabolites. However, despite what Cyborg says, that was not her only failed PED test. Five years after she popped for stanozolol metabolites, in 2016, the former UFC champion received a potential anti-doping violation, stemming from an out-of-competition sample collected in December, 2016.

But Cyborg had an explanation regarding that as well. 

“I was in a new testing program called USADA. It’s the same program the Olympics use to catch cheaters,” Cyborg added on X. “They flagged a sample for a diuretic, which was medically required and provided zero performance-enhancing ability. My Dr was unfamiliar with the USADA process and had to complete a TUE. USADA issued an official statement that no wrongdoing occurred. Usada is hired to catch cheaters, and they said everything was legit

.”

With that, Cyborg was done explaining herself and her past with PEDs. And she took shots at Rousey directly.

“I find the narcissism of @RondaRousey to be charming,” Cyborg wrote on X. “There is no world where she does that tough girl talk and then actually fights me. @netflix

@ginacarano you do move different. You are classy and genuine.”

Although the bitter rivals fought in the UFC, their time there briefly overlapped in 2016. While Rousey retired from the sport in 2016 after her back-to-back losses to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes, Cyborg remained there till 2019 before moving on to other promotions. Still, their feud remained alive through social media exchanges. However, a fight between them never materialized.

For now, Rousey is slated to return to action after nine years on May 16 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. But she is not the only one. 

Cris Cyborg will fight before Ronda Rousey

Cris Cyborg is dominating in the cage lately, and she has chosen a different discipline to take over, one she is already familiar with—boxing. The 40-year-old is set to continue her pursuit of titles in boxing when she returns to the ring later this month. 

With an undefeated 7-0 record in professional boxing, Cyborg will face Colombia’s Paulina Cardona for the WIBA super welterweight title. The 10-round contest will headline Nação Cyborg 15, a promotion owned by Cris Cyborg herself, on March 28 in Curitiba.

Cyborg’s last boxing match saw her stop Precious Harris-McCray via TKO in a 154-pound bout. A victory over Cardona would make Cyborg the first fighter to hold a major MMA and boxing title at the same time.

Her last MMA fight was back in December, when she captured the inaugural women’s featherweight title in PFL. She finished Sara Collins at the PFL Europe 4 event to extend her MMA winning streak to nine fights.

Clearly, both Ronda Rousey and Cris Cyborg are up to big things, but the pair can’t appear to stop beefing with each other. What did you think of their latest exchange?
