Cris Cyborg Congratulating Ronda Rousey For Being Pregnant Was An Epic Troll Move
TMZ- Ronda Rousey is NOT with child … despite rumors perpetuated by rival UFC fighter Cris “Cyborg” Justino, so says UFC prez Dana White. Early Thursday, Cyborg went to Twitter and wrote, “I keep hearing the rumor @RondaRousey is expecting and no longer fighting #ufc205 if true congrats on the new life.” Ronda has previously talked about having children with her boyfriend, Travis Browne — but never gave a time frame. We spoke with White … who tells us he talked with Ronda on the phone after the Cyborg tweet and she assured him it just ain’t true.
There are two ways to look at this tweet. The first way is that Cris Cyborg thought that Ronda Rousey was indeed pregnant, tried to get a jump on the news, and wanted to spoil Rousey’s announcement. Which would have been an absolute savage move. I may not be an expert on women, but I am pretty sure their favorite thing to do is to announce their big life milestones to their family and friends on social media. To rob Ronda of this would have been vicious. If this is what Cyborg did (which I doubt), I give her tweet a 4 out of 5 on the Silky Johnson Hater Scale.
But the other side of the coin is that Rousey is not pregnant (which seems to be the case) and Cris Cyborg decided to tweet out a tongue-in-cheek “congrats” message to go along with a picture of a frumpy Rousey. Now that my friends is how you start a war. Calling a non-pregnant chick “pregnant” is one of the biggest no-no’s in humankind, whether it is on purpose or by accident. And if that’s what Cyborg was looking to do, and I think it was, she gets a perfect 5 out of 5 on the Silky Johnson Hater Scale.
The beauty of this is that the real winners will be us, the paying (or likely streaming) customer whenever these two get in the ring to bash each others’ faces in. And I imagine the loser in all this will be Ronda Rousey. Holly Holm straight up knocked the mojo right out of Rousey’s ass.
