Ronda Rousey Talks About Cyborg Being Her Final Fight, Jose Aldo Plans On Ignoring IV Rules
- Ronda Rousey is in the middle of her fight camp for UFC 190, but she's still willing to talk about a potential super fight with Cris Cyborg, which she says could be her final fight.
"I have this idea in my mind that my final fight would be just beating the crap out of Cris Cyborg and then when Dana (White) puts the belt on me the last time, I can take it off and hand it back to him," Rousey said Thursday at a media conference.
Cyborg is currently contracted by Zuffa, and has been pledging a cut to 135 pounds since February 2014. She briefly agreed to fight at bantamweight for Invicta before quickly changing her mind and continued fighting at 145 pounds.

- The UFC will be adopting an IV ban in October, prohibiting fighters from rehydrating with intravenous saline solutions after weight cuts. Despite this, UFC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo says he has no plans on following these rules.
"I will continue to do IV, I don't care. I'll tell them I'm going to eat and do it instead," Aldo said, according to an MMA Fighting translation. "They won't take me out of the f-cking fight, so I don't care. They can say whatever they want, but it's scientifically proved the best way to rehydrate. Only if they put security guard with me 24 hours a day. I don't care. That's what's going to happen."
