Rousey to 'Cyborg': 'Stop taking f-cking steroids and make weight'

Should Ronda Rousey run roughshod over Cat Zingano at UFC 184 this weekend, the women's bantamweight champion will have essentially scrubbed the division of any and all credible challengers.

The only bout that would make sense going forward would be a long-awaited showdown with Invicta FC featherweight champion Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino.

Unfortunately, it doesn't appear as though this scintillating matchup will materialize any time soon. The heavily muscled Cyborg is a gigantic featherweight and would likely have a difficult time cutting down to 135 pounds. She even suggested staging the bout at a 140-pound catchweight, something Rousey isn't interested in doing.

"She can make 135 (pounds),” Rousey told reporters Wednesday, according to MMAjunkie.com's Brent Brookhouse and John Morgan. "She definitely can. The thing is, someone that cheats and makes things easier for themselves is always going to try and make things easier for themselves. That girl needs to learn that you're not always going to get advantages put in your favor. You need to learn a lesson that you need to do exactly what the other girls do. Stop taking fucking steroids and make weight."

Cyborg will need to dispatch Charmaine Tweet at Invicta FC 11 on Friday night before the UFC can consider staging a Rousey/Cyborg super fight.
