Ronda Rousey Next Fight Vs Cris 'Cyborg' Santos Biggest Yet To Come To MMA? Expendables 3 Cast Urges Women To See Real Worth Amid Ray Rice’s Video Controversy

Ronda Rousey's possible next fight against Cris "Cyborg" Santos should be the biggest fight in the MMA, even bigger than the predicted blockbuster fight against Gina Carano, as the "Expendables 3" cast urged women to see their real worth following Ray Rice's video controversy.

Invicta Fighting Championships President Shannon Knapp told Telegraph Blogs  that Ronda Rousey's possible next fight vs. Cris "Cyborg" Santos could even surpass a Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao fight.

"There's no love lost between Cris and Ronda. There's been a lot of back and forth. They've said bad things about each other. It will be emotional for both of them. I'd get really excited for that fight. That's the fight I want to see. I think it will be the biggest fight the sport has seen," she said.

She said that the MMA is now looking at Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano, which should do very well since both women are marketable and they have appeared in movies which helps in their popularity.

But she said Ronda Rousey's possible next fight vs. Cris "Cyborg" Santos will provide a lot of heat "like Mayweather-Pacquiao."

Meanwhile, Ronda Rousey talked to Extra TV and weighed in on Ray Rice's controversial video where he knocked out his then fiancée, now wife, Janay Palmer.

"You need to respect yourself and see what you are worth ... really know what you are worth. Unfortunately, I think a lot of women undersell themselves and don't know how much they really deserve. I know for a fact that [Palmer] deserves more than she believes," she said per MMA Mania

Earlier, Ronda Rousey talked to Bobbi Brown, editor-in-chief of Yahoo Beauty, and pushes for the new ideal body for women.

"We are trying to push strong as the new sexy as much as possible," she said.

Ronda Rousey also shared his training regimen in the same article: "I don't lift weights at all. Every muscle on my body is for an actual task; there is no muscle that I train for show. If I want to be able to do a certain move or action, I train really hard until I can. And with all of that training comes muscle definition, so it's really an afterthought."
