I've noticed so many people writing off Cyborgs competition and getting pissed at her for calling out 135ers. Listen folks, you act like Cyborg is the only fighter in MMA who cuts a shit ton of weight.. remember Meisha passing out after cutting for her recent Nunes bout? Rousey and Holly have had issues before as well (both big 135ers) and lets not forget guys like Tibau, McGregor, Gastelum .etc .etc
Also, since a 145 division only exists in Invicta (which Cyborg merks whenever needed) and not in the UFC, she is left fighting literally anyone who will accept her. Lina is a legit kickboxer and the only one who was willing to move up 5 lbs lols. Cyborg is not only an exciting fighter but world class talent that is in her prime- she's trying to make money and gain fans but its very hard when every girl is afraid of her. She trash talks just about every chick on the roster, all top 5 which she deserves to fight, and they all simply act like she doesn't exist
Lets remember
- Meisha Tate, Holly, Nunes and Ronda have all competed at 145 before
- Meisha and Holly both said they would have no prob fighting her at 140 or 45 (I doubt rousey agreed to a fight) then retracted on that
- Meisha, Rousey, Holly and Nunes all struggle to cut weight to 135. Sure cyborg is bigger but it's only 5-10lbs and since they've fought at 145 in the past its a bit silly to not want to now...
I mean Cyborg would jump at a chance to have a 140/ 145 title fight against Holly, Meisha, Nunes, Rousey .etc . 3/4 of them are coming off losses, but would still get a chance at the 145 belt
I get the whole "Cyborg should just make weight yadda yadda", if she did manage to make 135 without killing herself in the process I still doubt any of these girls would accept a fight with her. Cyborg is just that good.
