The past four opponents who have stepped in the Octagon with Ronda Rousey have lasted a combined 130 seconds.
For all her trash talk and promise of taking the UFC title home to Brazil, Bethe Correia only made it 34 seconds with the most dominant athlete on the planet as Rousey landed a first-round knockout for the third time in her career.
Considering the way Rousey has been thrashing her opposition lately, it’s no surprise that the subject of former Strikeforce champion Cris “Cyborg” Justino always seems to come up after another dominant win from the UFC women’s bantamweight champion.

Dana White talked to MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani on FOX Sports 1 after UFC 190 and had some bold projections for a potential Ronda Rousey vs Cris "Cyborg" Justino bout.
"I think that fight does 2.5 million buys," White said . "I think that fight is massive."
However there's a hitch.
"The Cyborg thing is complicated, because, I'm ready for Cyborg, Ronda's ready for Cyborg, but Cyborg has to make the weight," White said. "If you see tonight, if you look around, and you see that Ronda is here in Brazil, with a sold-out crowd, the place was cheering for her, which I've never seen in Brazil, ever, Brazil only cheers Brazilians, and they're cheering for Ronda, I'd be cutting weight now and chomping at the bit to fight Ronda if I was Cyborg. That fight is ready to roll whenever Cyborg is ready," White told Helwani.

Cyborg has lobbied for the fight with Rousey for years, but she competes at 145 pounds and the UFC doesn’t have a division for her so there have been multiple attempts to get her down to the next weight class so the bout could come together.
Following her latest win, Rousey reiterated her demands for a fight with Cyborg to happen in the UFC: get down to 135 pounds or kiss that title shot goodbye.
“I’m prepared to deal with anything. That’s why I’m the champ,” Rousey said. “I fight in the UFC 135-pound division.
“She can fight at 145 pumped full of steroids and she can make weight just like everybody else without them.”
Cyborg failed a drug test for the anabolic steroid stanozolol following a December 2011 bout in Showtime's defunct Strikeforce promotion. She served a one-year suspension
For her part Cyborg says she's on the way.
"My next fight is140lbs,then I hope we get a chance to give fans the WMMA fight the most violent fight in the history!" she tweeted out Saturday after the Rousey-Correia bout.
For now it appears Rousey is moving on to a third fight with Miesha Tate while Cyborg will compete in Invicta Fighting Championships at least one more time before hopefully getting down to 135 pounds for a trip to the UFC in 2016.
