The Rousey vs Cyborg feud is in full swing and it seems that the feud will reach a violent end if they fought but will UFC President Dana White let them fight?
While attending today's media event in Baltimore, UFC President Dana White discussed Cris Cyborg, Ronda Rousey and the trend of call-outs, insults, and challenges going back and forth between the two.
Marc Raimondi of FOX Sports, Tweeted some of Dana's insults about Cyborg:
When asked about Cyborg signing in with the UFC, he responded by saying:
Dana White compares Ronda calling Cyborg an it with Cyborg calling Ronda a chicken.

Dana White said he said at the MMA Awards that Cyborg looked like Wanderlei Silva in a dress. "And she did." — Marc Raimondi (@marc_raimondi) April 24, 2014
"It's not that she's beyond redemption. She's a nightmare in every way, shape or form to bring in as a professional athlete in an organization like this. At the end of the day, it's not worth it in the big picture. It's easy to sit there and go, 'Oh, everybody wants to see that'. She's a 45 pounder, Ronda's a 35 pounder. She said she couldn't make the weight. She's got steroid issues. She's got a lot of issues. That's a lot to take on. But who knows? I'm not saying it could never be done."
Cyborg took to MMAFighting.com to respond:
"I thought the comparison was funny. I'm a big fan of Wanderlei Silva, he's a big international idol."
"I'm not surprised (Ronda wasn't punished) because she's UFC's paper champion. They obviously would never punish her, even because her opponents are handpicked.
"I always admired Dana White as a great businessman that always believed in MMA and helped our sport to grow around the world. And I'm sure that, with the power he has, he would never go against his paper champion."
