The verbal quarrel between Ronda Rousey and Cristiane ‘Cyborg’ Santos continues (Ronda Rousey vs Cris Cyborg Santos first post), and we are happy, because we want to see this great fight.
I think Cyborg really doesn’t have any other options besides me. I think she’s a victim of her own cheating, whereas when she was doped up and she looked like she was so head-over-heels above all these girls, it made the women’s division look bad. Then she cleaned out her own division because of that. Now she’s having to deal with the consequences of it. No one’s going to want to fight a cheater.

MMA News – Good debut for Dave Batista at CES 12, but he still has a lot to learn…

Video CES 12 MMA post-fight press conference

The first words after his debut (Dave Batista vs Vince Lucero) have been: “I think my nerves got the best of me a little bit. He hits like a (expletive) horse. He rocked me. I couldn’t my legs under me for a while. I was just so nervous. It took me a little while to get my composure.”
In fact Batista’s fans can’t be happy about ‘The Animal’ (now Brass Body) performance. He appeared clumsy and slow, with still much rust to remove.
Anyway Dave ‘Batista’ Bautista was able to score a
