Just a day after knocking out Leslie Smith in her UFC debut, Cris ‘Cyborg’ Justino now has her sights set on a longtime rival in Ronda Rousey.
Justino, who needed only one minute and 20 seconds to dispose of Smith, poked fun at Rousey on social media, posting a photoshopped picture of the former UFC women’s bantamweight champion running away from her.
“Hey @rondarousey you running all the way to New York? #dontbescaredhomie #CHAMPIONvsEXChampion #ufc205,” Justino wrote on her Facebook page.
The 30-year-old Justino hinted at a possible November duel with Rousey at UFC 205 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
New York just lifted its ban on professional mixed martial arts two months ago.

A Rousey-Justino showdown has long been billed as a dream match. And with Justino now part of the UFC, it’s only a matter of time before the fight happens.
Rousey hasn’t fought since getting knocked out by Holly Holm last November. She’s is currently training for a return fight with either a rematch with Holm or Miesha Tate.
Tate could get a third crack at Rousey after she dethroned Holm last March via submission in the fifth round.
