Cris Cyborg rips Ronda Rousey’s striking ability: ‘I once saw her shadow boxing and her shadow won’

Former UFC featherweight queen, Cris Cyborg has ripped into long-time rival, former promotional bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey on social media this weekend — hitting out at the Riverside grappler’s much-scrutinized striking ability.

Cyborg, a former Strikeforce MMA, Invicta FC, and UFC featherweight champion, still currently holds the Bellator MMA crown and won the PFL featherweight crown last time out in a decision win over Brazilian counterpart, Larissa Pacheco in October of last year.

And expected to make her return to the SmartCage this summer, the Curitiba striker is currently riding an impressive run of eight straight victories — including her final Octagon where she bested former title challenger, Felicia Spencer en route to a move to Bellator MMA.
