                    <p>Charmaine Tweet fights Cris Justino at tomorrows Invicta FC 11, but the featherweight has bad blood with UFC champion Ronda Rousey&nbsp;too:</p>

It was a situation involving Rousey wanting out of the contract to fight Tweet that led to the issues between the two.

“That was back when Gina (Carano) was slated to come back in Strikeforce and couldn’t get medical clearance,” Tweet said. “The fight was the night after our fight, so Strikeforce went knocking on her door and said, ‘Can you come fight with us?’ She was already in a contract with me. My organization that I was fighting for came to me and said, ‘Do you want to let her out of the contract?’ And I went, ‘Um, no.’ That’s why we sign a contract – so if a better offer comes along you don’t just jump out of it and take that better offer.

“Things got a little heated when I wouldn’t let her out. So, that is where the animosity comes from.”

It wasn't really her call, it was the promoters call but if U were her I would have been angry about it as well. Phone Post 3.0

Sounds like she wanted a little extra kickback for letting her out. Or I'm making stuff up. Phone Post 3.0

Jeebus Crystos. Tweet was brought in as a challenger to Rousey and it was probably only a handful of people who knew who Ronda was at this point. The contract was signed before Ronda blew up - I'm not even sure who was cornering Tweet for this fight but I'm pretty damn sure they weren't contacted about Rousey wanting to get out of the fight.

Strikeforce came a calling and Rousey asked to get out of the fight for a bigger opportunity. The promoter stood their ground and she came up to Canuck Land and won via Arm Bar in under a minute.

UG Blog seems like they're fishing for a story.

First article I have seen where Tweet discusses the Cyborg fight in detail but no one cares about this mismatch.

I believe the fight was in or near her hometown. She probably had a lot of friends and family there.

"What the fuck is this Article saying?"

Sounds like Ronda wanted out of her fight contract with Tweet so that she could take a different fight that opened up in Strikeforce (and make more money, I assume) the next day when Carano didn't clear. I don't get why anyone would take that personally, a contract is a contract, but they are women.

It's another story about a woman MMA fighter whose using Rousey's name to get a little press.

Saw her fight at a Super Fight League event.

 

She was fighting someone from the host country and the crowd loved her either way, before and after the fight.
