Cris Cyborg Rebuts Rousey, Offers to Help Carano Before Boxing Title Fight

Cyborg says years of testing show she is clean.

Overview

  • Cyborg, speaking Friday, brushed off Ronda Rousey’s steroid jab and acknowledged one 2011 failure while citing Olympic-style testing since without another positive.
  • She said she is willing to help Gina Carano prepare after her bout this weekend, noting they are friends and have already discussed the idea.
  • The Brazilian fights Paulina Cardona in Curitiba on Saturday for the vacant WIBA super-welterweight boxing title and enters at 7-0 with five knockouts.
  • She remains PFL featherweight champion with one MMA fight left on her contract and plans to retire at the end of 2026.
  • Rousey vs. Carano is set for May 16 on a Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions card at the Intuit Dome, and Cyborg’s offer could shape Carano’s camp and reinforce the event’s legends-versus-legends pitch.
