'Cyborg' challenges Rousey in social media rant

Cris "Cyborg" Justino doesn't care about title belts, she just wants to fight Ronda Rousey.

The 31-year-old Brazilian, who has been calling for a fight against her longtime rival, went on a Facebook rant Friday directed at Rousey that played off a column the former bantamweight champ wrote for Refinery29.com.

"When we worry about marketing an image created by the media, our bigger goals are sacrificed," Justino wrote. "You can't look up because your face is in a pillow after being the bully and getting your ass kicked. Being humble enough to not believe the hype around you can be difficult.

"When I see little girls rocking their 'DNB' shirts (referring to Rousey's trademark "Do Nothing B----") and Reebok shoes in the supermarket, I think about what poor examples of sportsmanship you have displayed. I think about you cursing (Holly Holm) at the weigh-ins, refusing to shake Miesha Tate's hand following your victory, and all of the mean things you have said about me and my family."

A match between two of the world's greatest female fighters has been rumored for years, but has yet to be scheduled due to Justino's inability to drop to Rousey's 135-pound weight class. The Brazilian fights at 145 pounds, a weight class the UFC doesn't promote in its women's division.

Rousey and the UFC haven't agreed to a catch-weight bout with "Cyborg," who made her debut with the promotion in May at 140 pounds.

Dana White has said Rousey will get a title shot when she makes her return to the UFC before the end of the year, but "Cyborg" is calling for a shot at the former bantamweight champ at UFC 205 in November.

"I'm not trying to inspire you to suddenly become a better person, or become anything you're not," Justino wrote. "But there was a time in your life when you told people you wanted to fight me. Maybe you didn't quite understand the way the world worked then, but you also didn't care what anyone thought.

"I guess what I'm trying to tell you is that you don't need to be the champ to fight me."
