Despite the fact that all the chips have fallen into place, Justino is still not buying that ‘The Rowdy One’ will ever give her an opportunity to challenge her inside the Octagon. Here’s what she said on Submission Radio about the issue (courtesy of FoxSports):
‘Cyborg’ is currently riding a dominant two-fight UFC win streak since making her debut in the promotion, getting both her wins via knockout in the early rounds. Here is Cyborg’s entire interview with Submission Radio (The topic in question is brought up at 12:10):
“You know, she chooses her opponent and I don’t think this fight’s gonna happen. I know Dana White said, ‘oh Ronda wants to fight really bad’. If she really wanted this fight really bad, it would have already happened, people would’ve already watched the fight. I don’t believe one word of this.”
Rousey has not competed since suffering her first professional defeat against Holly Holm in the main event of UFC 193 in Melbourne, losing her coveted UFC Women’s Bantamweight title as a result.
The title has since switched hands repeatedly after that, going from Holly Holm to Meisha Tate and is now held by Amanda Nunes.

Rousey has not competed since then but is set to return for an immediate title opportunity against current champion, Amanda Nunes. Rousey and Nunes will meet in the main event of UFC 207 for the UFC Women’s Bantamweight title, from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on December 30th, 2016.
