Damn Cyborg sure goes after challenges.

What happened to deRandamie?

This is what I want to know.

Maybe this is at 145 and Randamie wanted 140?

 

[Coolidge]

I'm tired of Cyborg ducking real fights.

 

[Hades86]

In before Cyborg only fights cans. You can't fight against people who don't want to fight you back *cough Holly at 198 declined cough

 

[subhuman trash]

Oh look, Cyborg taking on another nobody. Yawn.

 

[ElCasca]

Don't matter the oponent, the outcome will be the same for every chick in the UFC who faces the Borg
Cris via beastin 25/8

Yes, you can fight people who don't want to fight you. If you fight in their division that is.

And it's obvious that Cris doesn't only fight cans. She's had at least four fights against women who were not cans.

A Unanimous Decision?

Last I heard she was up for 145. I guess Cyborg just couldn't resist challenging herself against the force that is.... Lina Lansberg....?

 

[ShoulderChoke]

She wouldn't have to fight nobodies if Rousey, Tate, or Holm would stop ducking her

 

[BigMuffler]

Cyborg will continue to prove she is the undisputed #1 female fighter with a win over world renowned challenger Lansberg!
