Cyborg on Rousey vs. Correia: 'I hope Bethe kicks her ass'

With Ronda Rousey set to defend her UFC women's bantamweight title against Bethe Correia on Aug. 1, there's at least one person in the MMA world hoping to witness a shocking upset.

"I hope Bethe kicks her ass," Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino said at Invicta FC 13 media day, according to MMAFighting.com's Marc Raimondi. "I think (that), I want (that). I think (Correia is) a good fighter, good boxing. I think it's a good fight for Ronda."

The Invicta FC featherweight champion, Justino is widely considered the only legitimate threat to Rousey's title, but would need to successfully cut to 135 pounds before the UFC would risk their golden goose against the Brazilian buzzsaw.

"I think everybody wants to watch this fight," Cyborg said of a potential bout with Rousey. "I think it's very important for women's MMA. I want to be part of this."

The lead-up to Rousey versus Correia turned horrifically personal in the last few months, with Correia telling the Olympic medalist not to kill herself following an eventual defeat. Correia later apologized for the remark once she learned Rousey's father committed suicide when the champion was a child.

Justino, however, isn't willing to let Rousey off the hook for her constant trash talk.

"Ronda deserves it," Justino said. "She always speaks sh-t. I don't know what (Correia said). If Bethe says something, it's because Ronda said something. She likes to talk bad about everybody. That's her game; not my game. I never said anything about her bad, nothing."

Before Justino can even consider a dream matchup with Rousey, she'll have to defeat Faith Van Duin at Invicta FC 13 on Thursday night.
