Cris Cyborg never got the opportunity to fight Ronda Rousey but maybe she'll find a way to face her in a professional wrestling ring instead.

The top ranked women's featherweight learned some pro wrestling moves this past weekend while working out with Gabi Castrovinci, who previously appeared on WWE's Tough Enough as well as TNA, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling under the name 'Raquel'.

Cyborg then took to Twitter to show off what she had learned while calling out Rousey to find a partner and meet her for a "Royal Rumble".

Of course, Cyborg probably isn't all that interested in actually pursuing professional wrestling right now as she remains focused on taking the 145-pound women's title in the UFC from current champion Germaine de Randamie

Cyborg vacated her Invicta FC title this past weekend before calling out de Randamie to meet her at UFC 214 in July.

As of yet, de Randamie hasn't replied to Cyborg's request.

If Cyborg is on the sidelines too long maybe she could drum up some interest in a match with Rousey in a professional wrestling match.

Rousey has appeared at WWE WrestleMania previously and one of her closest friends happens to be former "Ultimate Fighter" competitor Shayna Baszler, who has now transitioned into pro wrestling as well.

Of course given the history between these two, it's tough to imagine Cyborg passing up the chance to slip in a real punch if she ever got Rousey in the ring.
