Cris Cyborg News: Former Strikeforce champion wants to beat up UFC analyst Joe Rogan 'Brazilian style' for making joke
Former Strikeforce women's featherweight champion and current Invicta FC champion Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino is not pleased with UFC analyst Joe Rogan and comedian Tony Hinchcliffe.
During Rogan's post-UFC 193 episode of his podcast entitled "The Joe Rogan Experience" which aired two weeks ago, the former "Fear Factor" host, along with Hinchcliffe, began cracking jokes about Justino's inability to drop down to 135-pounds and face former bantamweight queen Ronda Rousey.
When Rogan asked how Hinchliffe would do a "roasting" of MMA fighters, the comedian went on to bring up the allegations about Justino's supposed use of male hormones.

"She's the only person who makes weight by chopping off her ****," Hinchcliffe said, while Rogan laughed in the background.
Immediately after the said episode went online, Justino responded to both men through Twitter.
"Your jokes are mean and hurtful not comedy. Who would want 2 work for a team that's so disrespectful," Justino wrote in a post addressed to both men.
Apparently, Justino has not yet forgotten the tirades thrown at her. In a recent report by Bloody Elbow, she candidly expressed her intent to inflict hurt on both Rogan and Hinchcliffe, if she was given a chance.
"Next show in Los Angeles," Justino answered. "[I plan to beat them up] Brazilian style."
Justino has been repeatedly criticized for the said accusations, most notably by Rousey and UFC president Dana White.
For her part, Rousey believes Justino can actually make 135-pounds and make their fight happen.
"She can make 135 (pounds)," Rousey said in a February interview with MMA Junkie. "She definitely can. The thing is, someone that cheats and makes things easier for themselves is always going to try and make things easier for themselves."
"You need to learn a lesson that you need to do exactly what the other girls do. Stop taking ******* steroids and make weight," she added.
