Rousey's mom responds after Cyborg challenges Ronda to fight
Ronda Rousey's 14-second demolition of Cat Zingano at UFC 184 left the sports world asking who's left for her to fight, and it didn't take long for the potential challengers to start talking.
And that includes the one fight fans want UFC boss Lorenzo Fertitta to sign most: Cris "Cyborg" Justino, the Invicta FC star whom Rousey routinely trashes in the media.
Hey @RondaRousey let me know if you need Lorenzo's phone number #championVSchampion Hei Ronda se quiser te... http://t.co/QoPyb9u2n0

But this time, Rousey's mom took up the fight for her:
@criscyborg @MMARoasted @RondaRousey I'll give you a number - 135

Rousey has challenged Cyborg to fight at 135 pounds — most recently right after her UFC 184 victory; watch the end of the video above — but that may be too big of a drop for her to make.
But Cyborg says she's willing to fight at 140.
"140 I think I can make. 135, I think would be hard, but I will try my best," she said in a recent interview with Bruce Buffer and TJ DeSantison the "It's Time" podcast. "If she really wants to make this fight happen, she can fight at 140."
For now, Cyborg continues to spar on Twitter.
Cute Ms. @DrAnnMaria your motherly instincts to protect your lil cub @RondaRousey is kicking in, it's natural but The lion is coming. @ufc
