The 25-year-old, Riverside County, Californian, Rowdy Ronda Rousey, an Olympic medalist in Judo, made the sports pages this past March for her brutal-arm-bar-victory over former champion Meisha Tate to capture the Strikeforce 135 pound crown.
Rousey's boss, Cagefighting Promoter/Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker, in the video below, recently had a conversation with mmafighting.com's Ariel Helwani where the pair discussed, among-other-things, a proposed superfight between the two best female cagefighters on the planet, Rousey, and Christiane Cyborg Santos
Although having good looks doesn't score any points inside the cage, Rousey is a champion who combines the elegance and beauty of a runway model with the violence and brutality of a savage Tigress.
The aesthetically beautiful Rousey is in total contrast to the male-body-type and features of Cyborg Santos—who's currently in the midst of an ugly PED (Performance Enhancing Drug) scandal.
As a result of having been found with illegal stanozolol metabolites (steroids) in her system—this past January, 2012, Cyborg was suspended for one year and fined $2,500. She also had her victory over Hiroko Yamanaka overturned to NC (no-contest.) by the NSAC.
It's also the opinion of most fight-experts, including myself, that Cyborg, a 26-year-old Curitiba, Brazillan has cheated before. Specifically, at Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg—an event which took place August 15, 2009.
The match ended with Cyborg earning a victory over 30-year-old, Gina Carano, a beautiful Dallas County, Texan, and current movie star.
Carano has has not stepped back inside the cage since that night, after losing the Women's Featherweight Championship, via TKO, to 'Cyborg' Santos. So, perhaps the almighty-powerful NSAC could overturn that victory -- also to an NC ?
Stay Tuned.
