After Cris Cyborg's quick destruction of Leslie Smith at UFC 198, the fight world has been hoping Cyborg would push for a matchup with Ronda Rousey as her next UFC bout.
Cyborg didn't demand a fight with Rousey immediately after her fight, but she's been taking shots at the UFC's top female star in recent weeks, including this Facebook post from May 15.
Now she's taken it a step further, challenging Rousey to fight at UFC 205 in New York City with a Running Man Challenge video.
Cyborg posted that video to her Facebook page with the caption "Running Man challenge...all the way to New York! Share this post if you want to see this fight @ufc #ufc205!!!"
A date for Rousey's return is still undecided. Dana White had originally planned on having Rousey back in November or December, which would fit into the UFC 205 window for the company's first fight in New York, but recently backed off of that noting that there's still no certain timetable for Rousey's return.
That said, if Rousey is willing to come back and they can make a fight with Cyborg happen in New York, it would be a huge draw for the UFC, which will want to put on a big show for its first trip to Madison Square Garden.
