Cris Cyborg Attempts To Bury The Hatchet With Ronda Rousey

Ronda Rousey and Cris Cyborg were never the best of friends in the world of MMA, but now years later, a whole lot as changed.

Rousey has recently stepped away from the sport as she is set to give birth to her first child with husband, Travis Browne. The road to parenthood hasn't been easy for them. The pair spent over a year trying to conceive.

Back when she was in it though, Rousey was the UFC bantamweight champion, and Cyborg was chasing her. However, a number of issues stopped the two from ever touching gloves in the ring.

Cyborg was quick to give some love to her former rival, putting aside any ill will from the past and congratulating her on the little bundle of joy on the way for the pair.

"Congratulations to Ronda and her husband on this new chapter of their life," she said.

"I'm very happy for her, it's very cool and this is the next step. Somebody told me last night and I was so happy to hear it."

WWE has put an emphasis on the women's division in the past few years. Rousey quickly became the centerpiece when she left UFC and made a surprise appearance in the WWE during the Royal Rumble in 2018. She then wrestled with Kurt Angle against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon at WrestleMania that year in New Orleans.
