MMA legend and rising boxing star Cris Cyborg doesn\u2019t think highly of Ronda Rousey\u2019s chances in a fight against Katie Taylor.<\/p>\n

UFC Hall of Famer Ronda Rousey could potentially be on her way back to combat sports in a boxing match against one of the pound-for-pound greats.<\/p>\n

Rousey has been linked to a showdown with Katie Taylor<\/a> in recent days, as rumors swirl surrounding ongoing negotiations to make a fight come to fruition. As of this writing, Rousey hasn\u2019t addressed the rumors, and nothing\u2019s been formally announced regarding a potential booking.<\/p>\n

Rousey has repeatedly shut down a potential UFC comeback amidst recent speculation stemming from training footage posted to her social media pages. If a boxing debut comes to fruition, Cris Cyborg believes Rousey will be taught a rough lesson against Taylor.<\/p>\n

Cris Cyborg brutally mocks Ronda Rousey amidst Katie Taylor fight rumors<\/p>\n

In a recent post to X<\/a>, Cyborg reacted to the Rousey vs. Taylor rumors.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI once saw [Ronda Rousey] shadow boxing and her shadow won!\u201d Cyborg said.<\/p>\n

\u201cZero chance she fights boxing. Maybe a return to the cage for a Gina Carano fight, but Ronda doesn\u2019t belong anywhere near a boxing ring.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cyborg and Rousey have traded barbs for years stemming from their time atop women\u2019s MMA. While a fight never came to fruition, tensions remain high between the two MMA legends.<\/p>\n

Rousey most recently reignited the feud<\/a> by labeling Cyborg a \u2018cheating a\u2013 b\u2014-\u2018 in a fiery interview last year. She retired following back-to-back title losses to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes in the UFC.<\/p>\n

Rousey has never competed in professional boxing; having had an accomplished tenure in judo and becoming a legend in women\u2019s MMA. Her striking has been touted by her longtime coach Edmond Tarverdyan, most notably ahead of her knockout defeat to Holm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MMA legend and rising boxing star Cris Cyborg doesn\u2019t think highly of Ronda Rousey\u2019s chances in a fight…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":322450,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,802,49041,786,8200,785,15809,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-322449","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mma","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-boxing","11":"tag-cris-cyborg","12":"tag-fighting","13":"tag-katie-taylor","14":"tag-mma","15":"tag-ronda-rousey","16":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=322449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322449\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/322450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=322449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=322449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=322449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
