The Toe-to-Toe with Ranallo series features the best interviews conducted by theScore’s Mauro Ranallo on The MMA Show Podcast.
Today’s “The MMA Show with Mauro Ranallo” podcast featured Strikeforce women’s bantamweight ‘Rowdy’ Ronda Rousey, who takes on Miesha Tate for the Strikeforce 135-pound women’s title on March 3 in Columbus, Ohio. Here is what she had to say about Cris ‘Cyborg’ Santos being caught for using steroids.
“I feel like anyone with half a brain isn’t surprised. I have mixed emotions of Cyborg being caught cheating because I know everyone knew she was cheating and I wanted to make an example of her because you don’t need to take steroids to win. I think her getting caught is a great thing too. I don’t have the least bit respect for her because I always knew she was a cheater, and now everyone else knows too. If she ever comes back to fight again, she won’t be the same beast she was before. She might even try doing different things like HGH that are harder to get caught for. Who knows if Strikeforce even wants her back?”

Another Monday Morning Quarterback . Just keep your mouth shut and fight . The fall will be much bigger when you’re crushed in the cage .
Ronda was ducking Cyborg in all possible ways, and shied away when Cyborg called her out on TV, in front of millions! She never said a word about it.
Now, Cyborg is suspended for a year and she claims she wanted to teach her a lesson…!
Riiiight! This makes everyone with a brain wonder about your heart in cage! Just take the fight or, otherwise, shut up!
You are starting to sound ridiculous!
Translation:
*** “I have mixed emotions of Cyborg being caught cheating because I know everyone knew she was cheating and I wanted to make an example of her because you don’t need to take steroids to win”. = Now that Cyborg is suspended, and I am safe, I can call her out.
*** “I think her getting caught is a great thing too”. = it’s great that I won’t get my behind handed to me.
*** “If she ever comes back to fight again, she won’t be the same beast she was before”. = Hoping.
*** “Who knows if Strikeforce even wants her back?” = here is a prayer!
Ronda Rousey talks shit to Cyborg when she knows she can’t be challenged to a fight. Way to prove the only skill you got is talking shit..
What silly comments, the issue isn’t Rhonda’s heart its cyborg being hormonally a man. Either way I doubt someone that’s been a competitive martial artists her entire life is scared of man or woman. However in a professional competition, with the potential for fame and fortune glory and honor, who needs a cheater, who needs to fight one. Her comments simply make for a bigger pay day down the road when a naturally female cyborg emerges, and uses this to sell the fight.
Cyborg is cheat! Scam! She should lose all her fights that did not test for substances.
* one look at her you tell she was dirty! Brings MMA a bad name. Shame on you Strikeforce!
