It was a confusing day for UFC fans yesterday. There were rumours going around that Dana White had offered Cyborg Justino a fight against UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.
This both excited and surprised many people. This rumour was floated by Tito Ortiz on AXS-TV's "Inside MMA". It didn't take long for White to refute the claims, saying that his long-time nemesis Ortiz was telling a "complete lie".
It's 100 percent a lie. First of all, the UFC doesn't even talk to Tito Ortiz, so let's start there. But we haven't offered any fight to [Justino]. Tito Ortiz is just making this [expletive] up. In no way, shape or form did we offer her a fight against Ronda at Cowboys Stadium. Completely untrue.
The information that Ortiz gave was that the UFC had offered Cyborg a title shot against Rousey on the proposed mega card on December 5th in the Dallas Cowboys football stadium.
White would prefer a Miesha Tate rematch for Rousey on the same card as the McGregor and Aldo fight, and he completely rejected these claims.
This is where it gets confusing though, as both Ortiz and Cyborg then refuted White's refutes.
I'm not lying nor is Tito- UFC called my manager last Sunday to see if I would fight Ronda at 135 on December 5 at... http://t.co/pF2VJdRuEU

What is actually happening is anyone's guess, but that December 5th card looks to be outstanding.
