For the love of GOD, the cyborg has been and always will be an overated drug users who has fought sub-par competition with the exception of Marloes @her ideal weight and to a lesser extent Gina Carano.
Cyborg depends on being heavier and bigger than everyone via huge cutting. She knows she isn't good enough without that strength advantage, as well as the stamina boost direutic illegal drug use has given. I don't get how people don't see this.
Cyborg the epitome of a coward of a fighter. She could have been a millionaire if she wasn't so addicted to being a bully in the ring. Bj Penn has gotten beat senseless jn some fights because he was willing to actually challenge himself, but he is still one of the GOAT as far as pure breed fighters go. Cyborg at 135 after being forced to bulk down wouldn't be top 5.
Agreed with everything except the part about how Cyborg could've been a millionare or whatever. She wouldn't have the fame she has now if she hadn't have gotten on the roids early.
What people have to understand is, Cyborg looks amazing against smaller fattened up nobodies and mostly crap fighters at FW. Just a bigger girl looking good due to being bigger and stronger (due to roids).
If she'd never done the roids and had a normal physique and was able to make 135, maybe she'd developed her skills a bit more, but at the moment she's just a sloppy brawler.
A natural 135 Cyborg wouldn't be top 5. Even with her current advantages, she struggled to get Daria off her leg for a whole round and to disengage from Lina Lansberg in the clinch. Lina was a fattened up BW.
The roids are the only reason she has a name. She'd have gotten mauled by girls like Pena, Zingano, Mcman, Tate, etc. on the ground. Ronda would've tossed her like a fucking toy in the clinch. And on the feet she wouldn't have the power she has now. Nunes would fucking kill her standing or grappling, and she'd never beat any of the more technical strikers like Holly or Val. Man, Val would teach her how to strike.
She'd be better than Jessica Eye and probably Bethe, but that's about it.
