Cyborg’s Path To Rousey

Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino

It may be unfurling with the deliberate pace of a Carnivale story arc, but a clash between toughest-woman-on-Earth Ronda Rousey and pretty much her only perceived challenger Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino is slowly, inevitably, inching closer to happening.

There remains only one problem: Cyborg is too big.

Justino isn’t in Rousey’s weight class. And if she wants to compete with the much smaller Rousey she’s going to have to shrink down to the champ’s size.

She’s apparently going to attempt this now and Sarah wrote about it for Fightland.

Did you get that new U2 album? Did you like it? Did you want it?

I got to talk about some of these questions on CJAD 800 AM’s Viewpoints With Todd van der Heyden program on the weekend.

I won’t spoil how the conversation went, but someone referred to the Irish band as the “McDonald’s of rock music.”

You can listen to the whole three-hour episode below. My segment is right near the end of the show.
