“I’ve heard from Cris actually that the fight that’s supposed to be happening at the Cowboys’s Arena [sic]”. In fact, Schaub shared that he had been to Rousey’s camp several times and felt that she was always taking the lead, not minding how a man can be of assistance to her success. They all agreed, stopped the conversation, and then unanimously praised her as a fighter. Her shows that she headlines lose thousands of dollars, and the majority of the tickets are given away because no one will buy them.

Rousey, however, said that while she’d like the fight to happen, she doesn’t need it to fulfill her legacy. “I’m just hoping I get a match on it!” says Paige candidly.
UFC star Ronda Rousey held an “Ask Me Anything” crowd interview on Reddit today, and nearly immediately, she discussed a ton of nerdy stuff. “How could I have asked for more money???!!”
“She needs me”, Rousey said of Justino. She wants to continue doing what she loves and fulfill her current UFC contract, and sees herself dominating in the near future.
“I know for damn sure that he knew who I was, because he was running against me for Best Fighter that year and he has signed MMA”, she added, according to Sports Illustrated.
“The deal we have with her is that she’ll make the weight and fight at 135”, White said. In a no rules fight, I believe I can beat anyone on this planet. If somebody were to beat Rousey, however, it would be somebody who has the length of Holm to keep Rousey from bull-rushing her in the same manner as the champ has done to each of her other opponents.

There’s been plenty of precedent for athletes – particularly competitive fighters like Rousey and “Guardians of the Galaxy’s” Dave Bautista – making their way onto the big screen in Hollywood as superheroes. Justino rep George Prajin on Saturday declined to elaborate on his conversation with the UFC, but told MMAjunkie “Cyborg is agreeable to fight Rousey at 135 in Dallas”. White also said Rousey’s next fight will be against Miesha Tate because of Justino’s insistence on fighting at 140 pounds in Invicta before dropping to 135.
