Ronda Rousey went off the rails when the topic of rival Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino emerged during the Ultimate Fighting Championship's presser "UFC: The Time is Now." The reigning women's bantamweight champion declared that she would "kill" Cyborg with her bare hands if ever their paths cross in the Octagon and Justino appeared to caught up with the latest comments as she posted her retaliation through MMA Underground forum. Justino laughed off the threats made by Rousey and offered a catch weight fight at 140 lbs instead.

"Hahaha, you say you want to try and kill me in the cage? but you are scared about 10 lbs? lets meet in the middle at 140lbs, I'm tired of the bully talking. Cat Zingano if you are looking for a training partner let me know, I can not wait to see you shut this girls mouth," Justino wrote in her post.

The Invicta FC 145 lbs. reigning champion was supposed to make her debut at 135 lbs this December only to be sidelined by a severe ankle injury. Justino was hoping to forego surgery to make the fight with Rousey next year happen as his manager was doubtful that she can make weight if she goes under the knife and be out of training for six months.

Justino comment's comes as Rousey has been on an extensive tirade on her Performance Enhancing Drug (PED) history. Rowdy has long been critical of how Justino asked to be released just a day before out of competition drug testing was instituted. She went as far as suggesting that any fighter who goes in the Octagon with banned substances should be liable for attempted negligent homicide, clearly a rant directed at her rival.

UFC President Dana White has been mum on the issue and prospect of pitting his biggest name against the perceived number two pound-for-pound lady striker in the mixed martial arts world. White has dictated during the presser Monday that in 2015, fighters themselves will determine the match-ups which opened the doors to endless possibilities. This year, White tried several times to put two of the most recognizable names in the sport in one pay-per-view event in Rowdy and Gina Carano but negotiations stalled.

Rousey is scheduled to fight Cat Zingano Feb. 28 at Staples Centre as a co-headliner of UFC 184. Justino has again dipped her hand on that pool as she offered to spar and train with Zingano and finally put one over her rival.
