Ronda Rousey Next Fight Contender Cat Zingano Ready To Take UFC Crown; Expendables 3 Cast Lashes At Cris Cyborg?

Ronda Rousey's next fight contender Cat Zingano is ready to take the UFC crown as "Expendables 3" cast lashed out at Cris Cyborg.

Cat Zingano is poised to join Ronda Rousey's next fight even after suffering what she described as a "stinger" following her victory against Amanda Nunes in Las Vegas last month.

"I just walked out of the fight kinda adjusting, checking out my body. They asked me how my neck was, I said 'I have a bit of stinger.' They just said 'Go home tonight, we'll put you on a medical suspension and just get it checked out and you'll be fine.' I anticipate everything is going to be okay. It feels good now," Cat Zingano told MMA Mania.

Even if the UFC officially named Cat Zingano as Ronda Rousey's next fight contender, there's bad blood between the "Expendables 3" cast and Cris Cyborg whom she called an embrassment to the sport.

"I'm the champion. I fight whoever comes up. She's the one who has options, not me. I'm exactly where I was when she left and she can come back and give it a try anytime. She'll get what she deserves," she told Brazilian magazine Combate, per MMA Fighting. "She really embarrassed not just women's MMA and the sport, she embarrassed her country, as well. I'm happy to set it straight."

"She says she so 'desperately' wants [the fight] then how come the day after they announced out-of-competition drug testing in the UFC she asked to be released?" the "Expendables 3" cast said. "If you so desperately wanted a fight you would come fight me, not run away. I think she's saying one thing and doing another. I've always been [in the UFC]. I'm not going anywhere."

According to MMA Fighting, Cris Cyborg tested positive for stanozolol after knocking out Hiroko Yamanaka in December 2011. She was suspended for one year by the California STate Athletic Commission.
