Cris Cyborg Justino has made it clear that she want a piece of Ronda Rousey. But Recently, Cyborg had a foot injury yet, UFC women's bantamweight champion Rousey does not sympathize with her.

When asked whether it is possible for a fight between her and Cyborg, she made it clear that her 2012 suspension for using PED's is not off her mind.

She answered "If [a fight with Cyborg] happens or not, whatever. 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."

The MMA has been having growing issues with fighter who is using performance enhancing drug. That is why Rousey is worried of any fights with a fighter who is using it.

She said "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. 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."

But even so, Rousey is not backing out on a fight with Cyborg.

He adds "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. 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."

Rousey is the first and current UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion, as well as the last Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight Champion. She is undefeated, having won eight of her ten fights by armbar. Rousey became the first American woman to earn an Olympic medal in Judo at the Summer Olympics in Beijing in 2008.
