Cris Cyborg , Ronda Rousey 's declared rival , as could not be otherwise, gave her opinion on her return to MMA. Last Saturday (16), in California (USA), the former UFC queen had no trouble against Gina Carano, needing only 17 seconds to finish in the main fight of the first MMA event on Netflix and left many fans and professionals astonished. However, the Brazilian did not seem impressed with 'Rowdy's' performance.
On the contrary, present at the 'Intuit Dome' arena, Cyborg not only mocked but also laughed at the crushing victory of her eternal rival. Having not competed since 2016, Ronda ignored her long period of inactivity and repeated what she did in her prime: she won by submission via armbar quickly.

In any case, the Brazilian made sure to spice up the rivalry with the bad girl by mocking her with mitt work and implied that she found the brief encounter between the veterans funny. However, if Cyborg's intention was to lure Ronda into a possible superfight, that won't be possible. After returning to MMA and winning, the American made it clear that she has now retired for good. Even so, the Curitiba native indicates that she will continue to taunt the former UFC champion.
"I once saw Ronda training and her shadow won," the MMA legend wrote on his official 'X' account.
I once saw @RondaRousey shadow boxing and her shadow won!
