Yes. This is the fight to make!

When people talk about big money fights, certain matchups that come to mind are Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson vs. Evander Holyfield, Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather, and so on and so forth.

On that note, women's combat sports hasn't witnessed an athlete other than perhaps Christy Martin in pro-boxing several years ago, who has captured the imagination of martial arts fans the world over as has Ronda Rousey. The Rowdy One is a former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion, and widely regarded as one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time.

Rousey is also widely considered to be one of the biggest PPV attractions in combat sports history. Additionally, her history with Cyborg is rather interesting, so to speak.

Rousey's natural weight class is at 135 pounds (Bantamweight) whereas Cyborg has trouble even making it to 145 pounds (Featherweight)--with the latter being the current UFC Women's Champion at Featherweight. Regardless, years of legitimate bad blood between Rousey and Cyborg now seems to have crossed over to the WWE realm, as Cyborg has stated that she'd love to face Rousey in WWE.

Now, while the bad blood between the two may be real, many believe that both Rousey and Cyborg--being the thorough professionals that they are--would perform with one another cordially in the WWE. While we never got to see these two MMA legends lock horns inside the UFC's famed Octagon, Rousey could compete against Cyborg inside the WWE's squared circle.

Ronda Rousey vs. Cris Cyborg is a big money matchup, and WWE would be remiss to let this one slip away.
