Ronda Rousey On Cyborg: “That Girl Should Be Charged With Attempted Negligent Homicide”

During a recent appearance on “The MMA Hour” at MMAFighting.com, Ronda Rousey was asked about the always topical subject — a super fight with Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino.

While Rousey claims to have no problem fighting Cyborg, she did mention that she doesn’t deserve the fight. In fact, Rousey feels Cyborg should be charged with “attempted negligent homicide.”

“If [a fight with Cyborg] happens or not, whatever,” Rousey said to Ariel Helwani during the show. “I’ll do it, I’ll beat her, it’s just, I mean, that girl in my eyes should be charged with attempted negligent homicide. Coming into the cage with performance-enhancing drugs is the equivalent of walking in there with a weapon.”

“Rowdy” Ronda elaborated, insisting that continued use of PEDs by fighters is going to have long-term negative repercussions on the sport of MMA.

“The only reason we’re even allowed to do MMA is, given potential for how it is right now, we can say it is safe,” Rousey said. “But if you keep putting PEDs in people, it’s going to become less and less safe, and the day somebody dies in that Octagon, and the other person tests positive for steroids, you’re going to have your first murder case in MMA and that is going to be the kind of thing that destroys the sport. It could destroy the sport forever.”

The UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion says she’ll be the person to step up and eliminate Cyborg from the sport, so “no one else will have to deal with her again.”

“I’m happy to put her out of her misery and put her out of the sport so no one else will ever have to deal with her again because it’s something that needs to be done,” Rousey said. “But do I think that having a big PPV card is worth having that sort of thing for the sport that I’ve worked so hard to develop? Then no, I don’t think it’s worth it. If you put her in front of me, I’ll put her out. But do I think she deserves to be there? No.”

Ronda Rousey makes the next defense of her UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship against Cat Zingano at UFC 184 in Los Angeles, California on February 28, 2015.
