The reigning Bellator Women's Featherweight Champion claimed that the pro wrestling industry was an entirely different world and was is all about hustle.
"I always do something for [opening] the door for women's wrestling, you know, it's a different world too and it's just hustle," said Cyborg.
Cyborg went on to clarify that she didn't actually train with Thunder Rosa but the two had a pro wrestling match instead. The MMA star claimed that she was no good during the match, as she wasn't aware of the rules.
The Bellator Women's Featherweight Champion added that she also filmed a video of herself working alongside Thunder Rosa, which is yet to be released.
"We didn't train together, we did one match, a pro wrestling match. You know, I was no good because I don't know too much about the rules but probably you guys are going to have fun, we did a video too." - added Cyborg.
