Rumors of a super fight between Cristiane ‘Cyborg’ Santos and Ronda Rousey never came to fruition for UFC 157 in February, but UFC president Dana White says UFC Hall of Famer Tito Ortiz is to blame.

MMA Junkie had the scoop on Thursday:

"That's the fight that should be happening," White said. "Tito Ortiz is her manager, and he advised against it."

However, “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” said that comment from his former boss was rather misleading when he responded to MMA Junkie via text message.

"That was never said!" he wrote. "'Cyborg' will fight her anytime, anywhere at 145. Cris said she would kill herself trying to make 135. I won't allow it, (and) neither should the UFC or Dana. Cris wants the fight, fans want the fight, and so does the UFC.”

Ortiz went on to compare what Rousey and the UFC want in order to fight Santos to what UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre and his camp want in order to fight middleweight kingpin Anderson Silva.

"If Ronda is such a great fighter, why doesn't she fight at the weight she started at? This is no different than (Anderson) Silva cutting to 170 to fight GSP. It's not healthy, period."

Last month, MMA Weekly reported that Santos’ doctors strongly recommended that the former Strikeforce featherweight champion stay at 145 pounds, as cutting any additional weight could cause long-term health damage.

Rousey, who is now signed to fight Liz Carmouche at UFC 157, still had some choice words for Cyborg in light of White’s comments.

"I wasn't the least bit surprised," she told MMAjunkie.com. “I know she can make 135, and so does she. It just takes her a little while to realize that this is the only option she has. It took her a little bit longer because I don't think she's that bright. Once she does sit down and think about it, we'll have the only fight that really makes sense."

Can Santos actually make 135 pounds with little problem or would dropping the extra 10 pounds actually be a serious detriment to her health?
