When asked about attending the same fight as Ronda, Cyborg had this to say, “I have actually never had the opportunity to meet Ronda.  I respect her as an athlete and as a professional because she did amazing things in the UFC and continues to open doors for women with her participation in the WWE.  Now that she is no longer competing in MMA it might be an easier introduction to make, I think if she got to know me, she would see that many of the things she said about me in the past are not true, but I don’t hold any anger towards her and would welcome the chance to meet her.”
