Rousey: 'Cyborg' is waiting for 'enough money to get her ass kicked'

Though there is still no official fight scheduled between Ronda Rousey and Cris "Cyborg" Justino, verbal shots continue to be taken - with the UFC women's bantamweight champion throwing the latest.

Rousey held a Reddit AMA on Monday where she expressed why Cyborg - in her opinion - has ducked a potential fight between the two.

"She's just waiting to be offered enough money to get her ass kicked," Rousey said.

Tito Ortiz, Justino's former manager, stated this weekend that a fight between the two women had been offered, but those comments were shot down by UFC president Dana White.

"The delay is all about money, not her weight," Rousey said. "She made 145 pumped full of steroids. She can healthily make 135 without them. Her shows that she headlines lose thousands of dollars, and the majority of the tickets are given away because no one will buy them. She needs me. So pretty much we're waiting for her to realize that she needs to fight me before I retire, or she'll never have enough money to retire."
